In this connection, I suggest a comma. “In connection with what”: is a comma necessary? When to use a comma: rules

In this topic, we will look at the rules for separating the phrases “in addition” and “in connection with” with commas.

The placement of punctuation marks regarding some expressions causes a lot of hesitation and questions. In this case, punctuation depends not only on the conjunction, but also on the place in the sentence, as well as on the assigned phrases. At the same time, a certain insidiousness of the Russian language in this matter is revealed, because sometimes punctuation marks can be superfluous in seemingly similar situations. Therefore, in this topic we will consider such double constructions as “in addition” and “in connection with”.

Punctuation marks with the phrase "furthermore"

“In addition” can act as an introductory phrase, as well as an independent part of speech. Therefore, doubts often arise due to the placement of a comma in the proper place. But remember - when a combination of these words is subject to punctuation stress, it does not matter in which part of the sentence it is located. Let's look at each case separately.

If “in addition” acts as an introductory particle, then it is necessarily separated by punctuation marks

Important: Introductory phrases are always, without exception, separated by a comma.

Most often, the conjunction “in addition” is an introductory word

If the introductory combination is at the very beginning of the sentence, then you need to put one comma after the conjunction.

In addition, the aerosol should not be used without parental supervision.
Moreover, it is also dangerous!
In addition, running in the morning is also good for your overall health and figure.

If a phrase is located in the middle of the text, it means it is separated by two commas.

The hike turned out to be a wonderful pastime, and also extreme compared to home conditions.
We'll need to look at the store, and besides, we're out of bread.
We were classmates, in addition, we also sat at the same desk.
Grandfather, in addition, was also such a cheerful fellow.

A small exception to the rules - if an adversative or intensifying conjunction is attached to the introductory stem, then a comma is placed after the introductory phrase.

Well, besides, you could have remained silent!
And besides, life is wonderful!
Besides, we had a good time ourselves.

Important: The phrase “in addition” is sometimes replaced by the phase “except for this”. They can be called synonyms if the semantic load of the sentence is not lost.

Expressions with the words “except” that do not require a comma

If “in addition” is at the beginning of the construction, then the comma is placed only after the end of the entire turn. To check for yourself, you can ask the question: “except for what?” and “which one?” - “that one.”

In addition to the sandy shore that we saw every morning, the expanses of the azure flood also opened up to us.
Besides the carrot juice we were given every morning, the food in the canteen was excellent.
Apart from that note, the student did not have time to read anything.

A comma is placed before a particle if there is a preposition with a pronoun, explanation or clarification. But the closing punctuation is already there after the entire turn.

Marinka, in addition to the salad, also tasted the cake.
The boys, besides that hooligan, went to their grandmother for the weekend.
There was nothing left except the sad state that arose afterwards.

The conjunction “furthermore”, like other introductory clauses, also falls under this criterion.

How do punctuation marks and the particle “in connection with” fit together?

Before you start thinking about the punctuation of the words “in connection with,” you need to understand what part of speech such phrases belong to. And understand their syntactic role.

As a rule, a sentence that begins with such a list of words does not stand out in intonation. This means that a comma is not needed in this case. After all, “in connection with” often acts as a pretext, which in itself is an auxiliary part of speech. And it is this part that sets the case form of words with the subsequent pronoun or noun.

Due to the above advantages, it is worth giving it a second chance.
Due to the above reasons, the vacation is postponed.
In this regard, we will speed up our steps.

Important: You can double-check yourself by asking a clarifying question. For example, “with what?” or “for what reason?” Due to the sudden cold weather, we even took out warm clothes.“In connection with” can even be replaced by the expression “due to” without losing the meaning of the sentence. Due to the flood we did not go to work. As you can see, a comma is not needed in both cases.

When in a sentence a construction that begins with such a phrase is isolated by intonation, it is necessary to put a comma in this conjunction. That is, if the particle “in connection with” clarifies or emphasizes attention and is in the middle of a sentence, then punctuation marks are needed for an intensifying effect.

This means that in connection with what happened, this absurdity must be stopped.
Therefore, due to the possibilities, construction can be accelerated.
Perhaps due to events, the celebrations will be cancelled.

But if the turn is not distinguished by an intonation pause, there is no point in the comma. It should be said , if “in connection with” in the text denotes causal circumstances, it does not require punctuation. Namely the reason, justification, trick or first cause. But don't forget about the complex structures of the sentence itself, which is broken up by punctuation marks.

I didn’t want to go to the birthday party, but due to the events that happened, I changed my mind.
The path was blocked, and due to weather conditions we had to set up camp.
I did extra work, and therefore I will receive an additional bonus.

Exception to the Rule : A comma is placed after the conjunction “in connection with” if there is a cause and effect.

Due to the fact that it started to rain, we stayed at home.
I took some of my work home due to the lights being turned off in the office.

In some situations, it is easy to check the punctuation of a given phrase by removing “in connection with” from the sentence.

In cases where the logical structure of the text is lost, a comma is superfluous.
- We need to recruit more workers. Due to this, increase your budget immediately.
If the sentences remain literate and complete after eliminating the set of words, then commas are required.
- We need to recruit more workers. Therefore, due to this, increase your budget immediately.

In connection with the material presented above, we can conclude that such simple rules will be very useful in the future. In addition, a correctly written text speaks about the awareness and literacy of any person.

Punctuation rules with the preposition “in connection with”

The phrases that are introduced into a sentence using such a preposition may or may not be separated by commas. Isolation is not mandatory; it is influenced by the prevalence of the phrase, the order of words in the sentence, and the author’s intention. But there are a number of conditions under which highlighting phrases with punctuation marks is appropriate and desirable.

Turnover is isolated

1 If the phrase is in the middle of a sentence. However, most often it costs between subject and predicate.

Reception of citizens on personal matters , due to the long leave of the director and the absence of his replacement, was temporarily discontinued.
The turnover separates the subject “reception” and the predicate “was terminated.”

Two weeks before the tax audit , in connection with the requirements of tax inspection authorities, were prepared all necessary documents and a separate office.
A prepositional phrase is found in the middle of a sentence, but does not separate the subject and predicate.

2 If turnover has the meaning of causality in relation to the proposal and the author emphasizes it intonationally.

Due to the breakdown of the only company car, a decision was made to cancel the trip.

3 If necessary define the boundaries of turnover to avoid ambiguity in understanding.

Due to round-the-clock video surveillance of the suspect, the man attempted to change his appearance.
Due to 24/7 video surveillance of the male suspect, Attempts were made to change appearance.

4 If a phrase connects parts of a complex sentence.

The kindergarten teacher asked all parents, in connection with the upcoming holidays, to take part in preparing New Year's toys with their children.

Important! Even if all the above conditions are present, it would not be a mistake not to isolate the turnover if this is the author’s intention.

Senior sales position due to the unexpected promotion of the employee who occupied it currently vacant.

Turnover is not separated

Turnover is not separated if it is part of the predicate or is firmly tied to it in meaning.

The chief accountant did not come to work due to illness.
In this sentence, the phrase with the preposition “in connection with” is part of the predicate – “did not go to work due to illness.”

Important! The common expression “in connection with this” is a combination of the preposition “in connection with” and the instrumental pronoun “this”. Together they form an adverbial phrase, which in a sentence is closely related in meaning to the predicate. Therefore, there is no need to highlight it with commas if the author does not want to emphasize it.

Compare:

The teacher did not say anything to her son about his drawing, and he was very worried about this all evening.
The teacher didn’t say anything to her son about his drawing, and because of this, he was very worried the whole evening.

Noun with prepositions "in connection with"

Signs of a noun with prepositions

is much less common than a preposition;

Between the preposition “in” and the noun “connection” you can insert another word.

Punctuation rules with a combination of prepositions and nouns

If we have a combination of a noun with prepositions, then no commas required.

Historical science has always been in close connection with political events: each ruler reshaped history at his own discretion.

“In connection with” or “in connection with”?

In Russian, there is only one correct spelling of the indicated combination - in three words: “ in connection with". All other options are incorrect.

The combination of words " due to this » is not separated by commas. It is not divided into parts by a comma. This phrase is often confused with an introductory word, which is why they try to isolate it in a sentence.

We tend to put commas where they are completely unnecessary. Especially if the sentence seems too large, and in cases where it contains such complex constructions as “ due to this», « as », « while », « through thick and thin », « as a last resort " We can even help ourselves with intonation, but this is wrong. It’s better to periodically repeat the punctuation rules and then there will be fewer syntax errors when writing.

The phrase " due to this " is similar in meaning to the following combinations: " in view of this», « for this reason», « as a result of this", if used in official speech. But in colloquial speech this clerical turn of phrase can easily be replaced with the words “ that's why», « That's why—That», « from-for this», « That's why», « that's why—That», « Here Why».

Are there cases when a comma is still needed?

Let's try to figure it out with examples.

“A whole new series of thoughts, hopeless, but sadly pleasant due to this oak, arose in the soul of Prince Andrei.” (L. Tolstoy - “War and Peace”)

“They suspected him in vain due to this a dangerous man - they barely knew each other.”

There's definitely no need for a comma here. Moreover, part of the combination is lost, leaving only the pretext “ in connection with", and the pronoun " this" and the preposition " With" is included in combination with the words - " oak" And " Human" and acts as a definition (answers the question " what?).

« Due to this We ask you to provide an additional package of documents according to the list.”

"Is it possible in this regard resolve the issue of emergency leave?

“And the math test was postponed due to this ».

The phrase " due to this» no commas are used in any part of the sentence. This is not an introductory construction, as mentioned above.

And in the following cases a comma is needed. And it's not hard to guess why.

“Preparations for the heating season have begun, in this regard, please monitor the heating system in your apartments and, in case of leaks, urgently report by phone...”

“We have received a lot of questions, but there is no time to answer them, in this regard, I propose to gather again.”

The phrase " due to this " in them acts as a subordinating conjunction, connecting the main and subordinate clauses. What else? And also - the same union " What", which must be preceded by a comma.

-“He decided due to this“It’s better to talk right now.”

- “They stated due to this"that the decision was hasty and was canceled."

Examples.

- “After warm days, the weather began to get colder. Will there be due to this Is the heating on, which was turned off not long ago?”

-« Due to this The question of how to deal with this confusing and difficult situation continues to worry me.”

-“It’s been the third day of a strong snowstorm, the roads are covered in snow, due to this public transport does not run according to schedule. IN connection with this cleaning of courtyard areas has become more difficult. And the holiday events were only canceled due to this. Forecasters do not give comforting forecasts. City authorities are doing everything possible, but the situation is only getting worse. The decision was made due to this , that it wouldn’t hurt to ask the townspeople for help.”

If the introductory word can be omitted or rearranged to another place in the sentence without disturbing its structure (usually this happens with conjunctions “and” and “but”), then the conjunction is not included in the introductory construction - a comma needed.

For example: “Firstly, it became dark, and, secondly, everyone was tired.”

If the introductory word cannot be removed or rearranged, then a comma after the conjunction (usually with the conjunction “a”) not placed.

For example: “She simply forgot about this fact, or maybe she never remembered it,” “..., and therefore, …”, “..., and maybe …”, “..., and therefore, …”.

If the introductory word can be removed or rearranged, then a comma needed after the conjunction “a”, since it is not associated with the introductory word.

For example: “She not only didn’t love him, but maybe even despised him.”

If at the beginning of the sentence there is a coordinating conjunction (in the connecting meaning) (“and”, “yes” in the meaning of “and”, “too”, “also”, “and that”, “and that”, “yes and”, “ and also”, etc.), and then an introductory word, then a comma before it not needed.

For example: “And really, you shouldn’t have done that”; “And perhaps it was necessary to do something differently”; “And finally, the action of the play is ordered and divided into acts”; “Besides, other circumstances have come to light”; “But of course, everything ended well.”

Happens rarely: if at the beginning of a sentence worth the joining union, A the introductory construction stands out intonationally, then commas are NEEDED.

For example: “But, to my great chagrin, Shvabrin decisively announced...”; “And, as usual, they remembered only one good thing.”

"By God"- in these cases, commas are placed on both sides (the word “god” in this case is written with a small letter).

"My God"- separated by commas on both sides; in the middle of the sentence, “God” - with a small letter.
