Grammar
Comma + modifier + comma
Hi,
Someone told me that:
It is compulsory to write commas both before and after a modifier.
In following 2 sentences, "for example" is a modifier.
Are my sentence grammatically correct?
Sentence1:
I have a lot of achievements, for example, 90 points in exam A, 80 points in exam B and 70 points in exam C.
Sentence2:
He, for example, is a good man.
Can I use "for example" as a conjunction?
If yes, do i still need to write a comma after "for example"?
Thanks
