Comma Rules/4

Name: Shift:

Yesterday it snowed. It snowed real, real, hard. The light, delicate, snow crumbled in my hands, and I felt cold. Because I felt cold, I decided to go inside my house. Inside it was warm and toasty. I curled up by the fire, I had started. I was no longer cold after I had started the fire. I didn’t want to leave, but I needed to do my chores, however. I had to vacuum the floors, make dinner, and feed my little brother. I was exhausted. I wanted to go to Orlando, Florida to escape from the cold. Unfortunately, my doctor, Dr. Smith, PhD, did not want me to fly. He said “Mister, Don’t fly on an airplane. You will get sick.” I didn’t want to believe him, however. I couldn’t drive there, either, because that is like 1,000 miles. Oh gosh, I shudder at that thought. I need to go on vacation today, not tomorrow.
