Comma after introductory clause/phrase

0 Hi, 02br
02br
00I am confused whether a comma is required after "since" in the following sentence: 02br
02br
00Since 1945 there has been no decade with as many financial crises as the 1990s. 02br
02br
02br
00Similarly, is a comma required in the following sentence after 1997: 02br
02br
00In 1997 Asia was fit by a financial crisis. 02br
02br
02br
00I have a feeling that it is required in the first case but not in the second. 02br

0 You don't typically need a comma after a prepositional phrase, especially such short ones. I wouldn't use a comma in either example. 02br 02br 00CJ 0-

Anonymous,

If you have a specific question, I suggest you start a new thread, rather than adding on to an old one, and be more specific about what you need help with.
