You should also put a comma or a period after &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; if it&rsquo;s the last part of a letter or email before your name or signature. However, if you are using &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; as a noun, or if these two words just happen to follow one another as the verb and direct object of a clause, you should not use a comma after it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>Commas and &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; as a direct address<\/h2>\n<p>The most common way &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; is used is as a form of direct address.<\/p>\n<p>Any time you&rsquo;re thanking someone, whether it&rsquo;s face to face or in writing, by explicitly telling them &ldquo;thank you,&rdquo; that is an example of direct address.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/comma-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comma rules<\/a><\/strong> for direct address require you to follow the word or phrase that makes up the address with a comma.<\/p>\n<p>That means that, if you&rsquo;re telling someone thank you, you always need a comma after the word &ldquo;you.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h3>Examples<\/h3>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">&ldquo;Thank you, Fatima.&rdquo;<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Here, the phrase &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; is followed by the name of the person being thanked.
