Where are the commas placed?
Hey people,
I would like to know where and how many commas are placed in the following sentence, thank you.
Here is the sentence: The Western states also moved closer together militarily and founded the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1949 under American leadership.
Hello,
as already mentioned in Hamburger02 correctly, a comma is set to the right of “Nordatlantik-Pakt”, since it is a supplementary explanation.
So it is also correct:
“Even militaryly, the Western states came closer together and founded the North Atlantic Pact (short: NATO) under American leadership in 1949.”
Behind the “North Atlantic Pact” belongs a comma, since then a so-called “short NATO” explanation comes, which is to be separated by a comma.
Nowhere – the sentence doesn’t need commas.
There’s no comma set.
M.E. no comma
