Comma separating subject from verb and object?

0Hello everyone,02br
00our English teacher gave us an (hopefully) interesting grammar challenge in class. He asked us to write a subject verb object sentence, in which the subject is separated from the verb and object by a comma. I tried to similar sentences:01ul
    01li
  • 00New York, New York, is a city.02li
  • 01li
  • 00April 2nd, 1983, is my birthday.02li
  • 02ul
00He said that they are both not correct, but that I was close to the answer. Maybe one of you can help out, or just point me in the right direction?02br
00Thanks in advance for any thought you are goingto put into this.02br
