Commas to Separate Introductory Elements

Help students hone their punctuation skills with this camping-themed comma worksheet! Introductory elements are words, phrases, or clauses that appear at the beginning of a sentence. A comma is needed to separate the introductory element from the rest of the sentence. This fifth-grade grammar worksheet begins with a review of introductory elements and gives examples that illustrate the correct comma placement. Students will then read a series of related sentences and practice adding commas after each introductory element.
