Hi teachers,
Once I read this rule:
When transition words are written at the beginning of asentence, use a comma to separate them from the rest of the sentence.
But then I found this sentence, 'Not long after his breakfast,he phoned her.'
a) Isn't 'not long after' a transition word to show time?
b) Why is the comma after breafast?
Thanks in advance.
