Lesson #4: When Commas should NOT be used
** Image ID #1764623 Unavailable **


Yes, I have a diploma! There are six lessons to Winnie's Comma Sense Class. Some of them I cannot show... because I have the rules shown on them to make me understand why a comma should be there and why it shouldn't be.
~These are Winnie's rules and hers alone that she uses in class.~
