Use commas to set off expressions that interrupt the sentence flow. The grammar rule is about using commas to set off expressions that interrupt the sentence flow. These expressions, often called "parenthetical expressions" or "interrupters," provide additional information or clarification within a sentence but can be removed without changing the essential meaning of the sentence. Here are some examples:
1. My brother, however, decided to stay home and study.
2. The concert tickets, by the way, were sold out within minutes.
3. He won the race, on the other hand, despite his injury.
4. I enjoyed the movie, nevertheless, it received mixed reviews.
5. She is, after all, the most qualified candidate for the position.
6. The weather forecast, in any case, predicts rain for tomorrow.
7. We should, at the very least, consider their proposal.
In each of these examples, the expressions (e.g., "however," "by the way," "on the other hand," "nevertheless," "after all") are surrounded by commas to set them off from the rest of the sentence. Removing these expressions would not change the main message of the sentence but would result in the loss of additional information or nuance.
INCORRECT: I am by the way very anxious about this.
CORRECT: I am, by the way, very anxious about this.
