add a comma after Charles

add a comma after chemistry

Explanation:

Correct: When you go to the supermarket, please buy eggs, milk, pears, and carrots.

This sentence begins with a dependent clause. A dependent clause should be separated from the independent clause when it is used as an introductory phrase. Commas are also used to separate items in a list. There is some question as to whether or not the comma before the and is needed, but either option is acceptable.

Correct: I plan to go skiing with my sisters, Charles and Boris.

The names Charles and Boris make an appositive phrase that names who the sisters are. An appositive phrase should be set off with commas.

Not Correct: Mariana hopes to study chemistry geometry, and Italian.

This sentence is not punctuated correctly. There should be commas to separate the items in a list. This means that there is a comma missing after chemistry.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
