  1. Exercise 1. The comma is all about the pause.  Sort of.  There are five rules in this exercise that describe natural rhythms of the language. 
      

  2. Preview. If this were a true preview, it would have come before exercise one.  Right?  You're already in the middle of things.  This is more like midview.  Click around.  This exercise gets at some of the most common errors writers make with the comma.
     
  3. Exercise 2. Print and practice.
     
  4. Exercise 3. Print and practice.
