Grammar Concept: I can identify where commas go in a series. Commas separate items listed in a series. They help distinguish each item or person in a group. They also help a reader know where to pause when reading. Wrong: My pets include a dog cat gerbil and fish. What is a “dog cat gerbil”? Yikes! Correct: My pets include a dog, cat, gerbil, and fish.
