Comma

Daddy was trying to help improve Dominic's writing by introducing him to sentence patterns.  The first pattern is about using a series of descriptive words separated by commas: "A,B,C".

Daddy: Dominic, look at this pattern: "A comma B comma C". For example, "My teacher is friendly comma good comma nice". Do you get it?

Dominic: Yes

Daddy: Here's another: With persistence comma confidence comma intelligence, I learned to play chess. Now it's your turn.

Dominic: uhm.....<can't think of a sentence>

Daddy: Ok, let's try another one, I'll start the sentence: "My school has a... "

Dominic: <no answer>

Daddy: "My school has a..."

Pia: Comma!
