Do they need comma?

Thank you

I use as few commas as possible, so I would not use a comma in the first sentence. However, as a sort of exception to my usual practice, I always use a comma before final too , although I'm told it isn't really needed. CJ

Here are the basic rules for comma



The Comma (,)

The uses of the comma are:

  1. Separate a list of items
    i.e.: Apples, pears, bananas and grapes are fruit

  2. Indicates a word in apposition
    i.e.: The organisation, XYZ Enterprises, sends all members of staff on tr

In both cases the use of comma is justifiable; however, I would never use one in with 'me too'.

In the first sentence, it depends on how you're using "then." If you're using it to show sequence (the second example below), I'd definitely leave it out. But if you're using it as in the first example, it's optional.

A: She called to ask you about the homework, didn't she.

B: No, that's not why she called.

A: It isn't? Well, what did she want, then?
