Elements Out of Their Natural Order

Margie Wakeman WellsThe Comma 2 Comments

When a noun clause direct object is pulled out to the front of the sentence — where it does NOT belong — it takes a comma after it before the subject and verb in the sentence.

…Where she was that night, I don’t know.
…How far we traveled that day, I don’t remember.

Happy punctuating!

      I am sorry that you do not find the information useful.
