Commas and prepositional phrases
0 Hi, I recently wrote a paper for a class and was told that several of my commas were in error. I offset some prepositional phrases with commas and was told that this is incorrect. I am pretty sure I do this often, but I have never before had a teacher tell me it is wrong. One of the teacher's rules of commas is to set off unessential elements, but apparently there is an exception if the element is a prepositional phrase? 02 br
00 Here are my sentences: 02 br
00 Though the study is not large, with results that can be generalized, it provides a successful framework that could be used by other pharmacies to develop similar programs. 02 br
00 Like the research articles, the next two sections, on tools for advancing pharmacy practice and experience, are intended to provide information to pharmacists. 02 br

00 Thanks for your insights. 0-
