GEOGRAPHIC EXPRESSIONS

A comma is used to separate the name of a city from the name of the state. A comma is used to

separate the name of foreign city from the name of a country. Since the state or country is

actually an appositive modifying the city, a comma follows the state or country as well.

Example:

1. Dave will visit New Orleans, Louisiana, during the summer.

2. Our newest branch office is in Atlanta, Georgia.

3. Her next vacation will be in Paris, France.
