Today's lesson will be a quick one: direct address. If you are directly addressing someone/something, this means that you are talking to him/her/them/it. If you are writing or typing your direct address, you need to use at least one comma.
Example:
Did you hear me, Watson?
Easy. Now, if your address is in the middle of a sentence, there needs to be a comma before AND after the name.
Example:
What I said, Watson, was to stop eating all of my cheese.
Also easy. If your address is at the beginning of the sentence, the comma goes after.
Example:
Watson, please buy me some more cheese.
EASY. Please use commas.
