| Comma After Conjunction in Introductory Clause Grammarly Handbook by Grammarly Found at: http://www.grammarly.com/handbook/punctuation/comma/9/comma-after-conjunction-in-introductory-clause/ Introductory clauses frequently begin with a conjunction (although, since, when, if, etc.) There should be no comma after the conjunction in the introductory clause.
- Because

The comma after because should be removed; the comma after rain is properly used as it separates the introductory clause from the independent clause.

| Yes, thanks for explaining that. I am guilty of using commas after conjunctions but now understand that it is incorrect. |
