Invitations for Jiddo

1Soraya's grandfather, Jiddo, was turning seventy, and the family planned a big party. Soraya's mom bought a box of yellow invitations. "Our cousins live all over the country," Mom said. "Will you help me address the envelopes?"

2Soraya sat at the kitchen table with a pen. Mom showed her the first envelope. On the top line, Mom wrote the name. On the next line, she wrote the house number and the street. On the last line, she wrote the city and the state.

3"Put a comma between the city and the state," Mom said. She pointed to the line that said Reno, Nevada. "The comma keeps the two names apart."

4Soraya addressed the next envelope to her cousin Kareem. Then she wrote one for Aunt Dalia. Soon she had a whole stack.

5Inside each card, Soraya wrote one sentence: The party will be at 210 Lark Street, Dayton, Ohio. "When an address is in a sentence, put a comma after the street and after the city," Mom explained.

6By dinnertime, every envelope was ready. Soraya put a stamp on each one and carried the stack to the mailbox.

In paragraph 3, why does Mom say to put a comma between the city and the state?
