Today, we are talking comma rules again. <\/p>\n
More specifically, we are talking about whether ‘tomorrow’ needs to be followed by a comma when it appears at the very beginning of a sentence. <\/p>\n

Whenever ‘Tomorrow’ is used at the beginning of a sentence and serves as an introductory element, specifically functioning as an adverb of time, then it needs to be followed by a comma.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n We have just seen that a comma is necessary when “Tomorrow” appears at the very beginning of the sentence. <\/p>\n This is obviously not just the case for “Tomorrow” but also other temporal expressions like:<\/p>\n Now, the above list certainly is not exhaustive. <\/p>\n The main takeaway here for you is that whenever you have a temporal adverb (such as tomorrow, yesterday, today, recently and so on) at the beginning of the sentence, then a comma comes after it.<\/p>\n These temporal adverbs are commonly known as ‘Adverbs of time.’<\/p>\n However, not all of the words above are always used as temporal expressions. And even when they start a sentence, they could also have different functions. <\/p>\n For instance, the adverb “now” in “Now is the time to act” does not function as an introductory element. It is actually a subject complement in this case and, therefore, it is NOT followed by a comma in this particular case. <\/p>\n Here are some examples for you where ‘Tomorrow’ is used as a temporal expression at the very beginning of a sentence: <\/p>\n[table id=93 \/]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, we are talking comma rules again.
