Review: the Comma, Answer 3.
Answer
- Question:
- Everyone, with tickets to the seven o’clock showing of the Rolling Stones movie, should move to the front of the line.
- Answer:
- Everyone with tickets to the seven o’clock showing of the Rolling Stones movie should move to the front of the line.
- Explanation:
- There should be no comma after everyone because what follows is restrictive information. Do not keep the comma between movie and should; doing so incorrectly separates the subject from the verb.
