UNDER THE EXCEPTION CONCERNING SIMPLE SENTENCES.

“A noun without an Article to limit it is taken in its widest sense.”—­Bullions, E. Gram., p. 8; Practical Lessons, p. 10.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because no comma is here set before the verb is taken.  But, according to the Exception to Rule 1st for the Comma, “When the nominative in a long simple sentence is accompanied by inseparable adjuncts, or when several words together are used in stead of a nominative, a comma should be placed immediately before the verb.”  Therefore, a comma should be here inserted; thus, “A noun without an article to limit it, is taken in its widest sense.”—­Lennie’s Gram., p. 6.]
