Name Date

Stop-Motion Studio: Commas in Conversation

Use commas with yes and no, tag questions and names of people you speak to.

Three comma jobs

Use a comma to set off each of these:
Yes or no at the start of a sentence: No, the camera is not charged.
A tag question, a short question added to the end of a sentence: The lights are too bright, aren't they?
Direct address, the name of the person you are speaking to: Lena, hold the camera. / Thanks for helping, Lena. / I think, Lena, that we need more photos.

The Maple Street Film Club is making a short stop-motion movie about a dragon who wants to wear a crown. Rosa, Kwame, Hiro and Dev move paper cutout characters a tiny bit at a time and take a photo after each move. When the photos play quickly one after another, the characters seem to move on their own. Ms. Adeyemi, the club leader, helps them plan each scene.
