I frequently see the comma between the complement of state in place and the subject – In Rome, traffic is always congested – or between the complement of specific time and the subject – In 1492, Christopher Columbus landed on the island he called San Salvador. Yet those commas disappear by changing the order of the elements of the sentence: Traffic is always congested in Rome Christopher Columbus landed on the island he called San Salvador in 1492 Someone might argue that that comma has the value of a pause or is intended to convey an emotion. However, I don't see the need for a pause nor do I feel emotion thanks to that comma.
The most serious mistake, however, is placing a comma between the subject and the verb . There are no pauses or emotions that hold in that case. What is the purpose of the Phone Number List comma between subject and verb? To nothing. And this answer would be enough to close the article. I remember that my father, when my sisters and I were unable to explain ourselves, scolded us by saying "subject, verb and complement", to teach us the simplest construction of a sentence, even if typical of plain prose (not necessarily without its own elegance). Subject + Verb + Complement Writing “Christopher Columbus landed on the island he called San Salvador in 1492” is a mistake.
The Treccani Dictionary gives this definition of “subject”: In linguistics, the person or thing, concrete or abstract, which in the proposition does the action or is in the condition expressed by the verb. And for “verb”: In traditional grammar, a variable part of speech indicating action, state, or becoming. We cannot therefore separate who (or what) performs the action from the part that indicates that action. We cannot separate the subject from the verb . In elementary school we all learned the construction of sentences, with simple and perhaps banal examples: The child eats the apple.
