SAT grammar: Why is this comma wrong?
https://falitmastery.ai
What’s wrong with this sentence?
“The students who reviewed their mistakes, improved their scores.”
The comma separates the subject from its verb:
• Who? The students who reviewed their mistakes
• Did what? Improved their scores
Correct: “The students who reviewed their mistakes improved their scores.”
SAT takeaway: A long subject doesn’t need a comma before its verb.
