thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

Is this sentence [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] right or wrong? It's wrong. Do you mean the one below?

"It's my contention that building a cinema near our district would be really noisy." It's right without the comma.

the comma here is right or not? If it's right, why?

thanks in advance.

Why do you think it needs a comma?

As Raymott said, your sentence would be correct without the comma. Note my corrections above in red and remember to check your word order when writing a question.

Actually, I was reading about an article on the internet when I saw this sentence which confused me a lot, so I decided to ask about it.

Thanks very much.

The comma is wrong and the end of the sentence ("near or district") is very strange- I'd guess it's a non-native speaker. However, native speakers can also misuse commas. :up:

 

[Grumpy]

("near or district")
I would guess that it's a typo for "our".

 

[Tdol]

("near or district")
I would guess that it's a typo for "our".

I'll doff my hat to that hunch. ;-)

 

[Raymott]

("near or district")
I would guess that it's a typo for "our".

That was already corrected in post #2.
