‘down to...’
Brent Crude Futures also lost 41 cents down to 54.52 dollars a barrel.
Shouldn’t there be a comma between ‘41cents’ and ‘down to 54.52 dollars’ for correct usage of commas?
What do you native English speakers think?
Thanks a million in advance.
Top answer
52 dollars a barrel" is not, in my view, properly grammatically attached to the first part of the sentence. It is a loose kind of sentence construction, so exactness of punctuation is not paramount. Having said that, a comma might well have been employed.
