The Elements of Style
Elementary Rules of Usage
1. Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's.
Charles's friend
2. In a series of three or more terms with a single conjunction, use a comma after each term except the last.
He opened the letter, read it, and made a note of its contents.
3. Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas.
The best way to see a country, unless you are pressed for time, is to travel on foot.
The audience, which had at first been indifferent, became more and more interested.
Nether Stowey, where Coleridge wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, is a few miles from Bridgewater.
4. Place a comma before a conjunction introducing an independent clause.
The early records of the city have disappeared, and the story of its first years can no longer be reconstructed.
as (in the sense of "because"), for, or, nor, or while (in the sense of "and at the same time")
5. Do not join independent clauses with a comma.
Mary Shelley's works are entertaining; they are full of engaging ideas.
Mary Shelley's works are entertaining. They are full of engaging ideas.
Mary Shelley's works are entertaining, for they are full of engaging ideas.
6. Do not break sentences in two.
7. Use a colon after an independent clause to introduce a list of particulars, an appositive, an amplification, or an illustrative quotation.
Colon
The colon has more effect than the comma, less power to separate than the semicolon, and more formality than the dash.
Wrong
Your dedicated whittler requires: a knife, a piece of wood, and a back porch.
Right
Your dedicated whittler requires three props: a knife, a piece of wood, and a back porch.
To interpret and amplify the first
But even so, there was a directness and dispatch about animal burial: there was no stopover in the undertaker's foul parlor, no wreath or spray.
To introduce a quotation
The squalor of the streets reminded her of a line from Oscar Wilde: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
8. Use a dash to set off an abrupt break or interruption and to announce a long appositive or summary.
Dash
A dash is a mark of separation stronger than a comma, less formal than a colon, and more relaxed than parentheses.
His first thought on getting out of bed — if he had any thought at all — was to get back in again.
The increasing reluctance of the sun to rise, the extra nip in the breeze, the patter of shed leaves dropping — all the evidences of fall drifting into winter were clearer each day.
9. The number of the subject determines the number of the verb. 主谓一致
10. Use the proper case of pronoun.
11. A participial phrase at the beginning of a sentence must refer to the grammatical subject. 分词主语即主句主语
Walking slowly down the road, he saw a woman accompanied by two children.
He saw a woman, accompanied by two children, walking slowly down the road.
