Commas

The comma can be used in a few different ways. In this lesson we are going to discuss the use of the comma in specifying locations and dates. Here are some sample locations: 


	Dallas, Texas		Trona, California

	Boise, Idaho		Augusta, Maine

	Elko, Nevada		St. George, Utah
Most often you will specify the location in addressing a letter: 

	Sam Jones
	444 Elm Street
	Trona, California   93562
We can also use state postal abbreviations to save us some writing: 

	Elko, NV		Camden, ME

	Trona, CA		Hurricane, UT
You may also see locations in sentences like this: 

	Joe spent a week in Beatty, Nevada.

	I sent the letter to Trona, California.

	Mary will visit Ridgecrest, California, while on vacation.

Remember that there should always be a single space following a comma.
