Question
should there be a comma before the highlighted word? flash is excited because his favorite band is coming to town. add a comma dont add a comma
The word "because" introduces a subordinate clause (dependent clause) that explains the reason for Flash's excitement. In English grammar, a comma is not used before a subordinating conjunction like "because" when the subordinate clause follows the main clause. Here, the main clause "Flash is excited" comes first, followed by the subordinate clause introduced by "because", so no comma is needed before "because".
