Explanation:
An introductory phrase is like a clause, but it doesn’t have its own subject and verb; it relies on the subject and verb in the main clause. It sets the stage for the main part of the sentence. When you use an introductory phrase in your writing, you’re signaling to the reader that the central message of the sentence is yet to come.
Introductory clause: After the meeting was over, the staff was exhausted. Introductory phrase: While getting ready for bed, Susan heard a knock at the door.
There are several types of introductory phrases, including prepositional phrases and appositive phrases. Sometimes a comma is necessary after an introductory phrase. Other times, the comma is optional, and there are also times when a comma should not be used.
It is important to note that a comma should always be used if the sentence could be misinterpreted otherwise.
1. There has to be a conjunction between "important," and "other" because otherwise, the sentence doesn't seem coherent. You can place 'but' between those words to make it correct, and to connect the two ideas into one sentence.
2. The phrase 'such as journal entries and poetry' should be placed after 'period' because otherwise, it is located too far from the word it is supposed to describe. So, 'fiction from that time period, such as journal entries and poetry, can be just as valuable.'
3. Again, there should be a conjunction between the words 'read' and 'they' because the way this sentence is written, it doesn't seem connected. You can write either '...are interesting to read because they give..." or '...to read as they give...'
