Are these sentences correct:
1-I had to go back to my old house with its leaking roof.
2-I had to go back to my old house, with its leaking roof.
3-I had to go back to my old house with its leaking roof and broken windows.
4-I had to go back to my old house, with its leaking roof and broken windows.
I think they all work. The comma does not seem to change much. In "1" and "3", "my old house with its...." seems to form a unit. In "2" and "4", the part after the comma seems to have been added on as an afterthought.
Gratefully,
Navi.
