Comments enclosed in commas
The voices of the kids crying, because of my very aggressive attitude, alarmed the neighbors and got me into trouble.
Can we enclose the "because of my very aggressive attitude" in commas, because it's unnecessary and basically a comment on why they were crying?
Top answer
The sentence does not read very well to me. I think it is potentially confusing whether your aggressive attitude made the kids cry or alarmed the neighbours. If you mean the former, I suggest: The voices of the kids, who were crying because of my very aggressive attitude, alarmed the neighbors and got me into trouble.
