Use of commas

Our starting point tonight: South Korean President Moon Jae-in has received a letter from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson formally inviting him to the G7 Summit this June which will focus on tackling Covid-19, promoting carbon neutrality and free trade.

The top office said in his letter, the UK prime minister thanked President Moon for inviting him to the P4G Summit set to be held in May in Seoul and said the UK will be taking part.


President Moon is expected to send back a response vowing to participate in the G7.


Earlier in the day, the South Korean leader spoke on the phone with Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado to discuss cooperation on COVID-19 and eco-friendly projects.


Alvarado thanked South Korea for its support in fighting the virus invited Moon to his country and to join a summit of the Central American Integration System set for June.

I was wondering if use of commas in the article is correct or not.

'the G7 Summit this June which will focus on...' Shouldn't there be a comma in front of 'which' to add the information of the G7 Summit?


'the P4G Summit set to be held' Shouldn't there be a comma in front of 'set to be held', too?

I am not sure about 'set for June' Do you think there should be a comma in front of it?


I am trying to use commas correctly but it is not easy. What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you so much as usual.

' Shouldn't there be a comma in front of 'which' to add the information of the G7 Summit? It is optional. I would use one.

  • He was invited to one summit, the one in May, so a comma would be slightly misleading.
