Introduction to Fronted Adverbials and Commas

In modern technology, especially with the rise of social media, communication has become faster and more efficient. Often, writers use fronted adverbials such as 'Quickly,' 'Suddenly,' or 'In the digital age,' at the beginning of sentences to add emphasis or set the scene. When a fronted adverbial is used at the start of a sentence, a comma usually follows it. For example, 'In the digital age, people communicate instantly.' Understanding where to place commas helps improve clarity and flow in writing about technology.
