Should there be a comma?
In the following sentence, would the comas be needed? I have included two examples. Should there be a comma after women and before mainline, or no comma at all?
1.) Men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, all mainline white wine by the pool. OR
2.) Men and women dressed in their Sunday best all mainline white wine by the pool.
1.) Men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, all mainline white wine by the pool. OR
2.) Men and women dressed in their Sunday best all mainline white wine by the pool.
Top answer
) Men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, all mainline white wine by the pool. ) Men and women dressed in their Sunday best all mainline white wine by the pool. There is no rule that requires the commas, but I would use them to provide greater clarity.
- ) Men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, all mainline white wine by the pool.
