Commas to mark clauses

,

A comma is used to mark clauses in complex sentences. They are used when the subordinating clause appears FIRST in the sentence.

 

Take a look at the example below:

 

Since the weather was extremely dreadful, my plans to climb Pendle Hill were cancelled.

 

subordinating clause + comma to mark the clause + main clause
