eventually

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

eventually

Post by Diana Lowery »

Where do the commas go in this sentence?

"Circumstances prevent his return and eventually she moves on with her life."

1. Circumstances prevent his return, and, eventually, she moves on with her life

2. Circumstances prevent his return and eventually, she moves on with her life.

3. Circumstances prevent his return, and eventually, she moves on with her life.

Thanks for your help!

#3. That said, I would probably write it without a comma after eventually.

Yes, the rules are a little vague on this one.
Maybe #4? Circumstances prevent his return; eventually, she moves on with her life.
