Usage of "both" #1 (permalink) Sun May 24, 2009 13:27 pm   Usage of "both"
 

Is it correct to insert a comma in the following sentence?

"She is both a good mother, and a good worker." OR is it -

"She is both a good mother and a good worker."

Hi you,
I think it isn't correct when you insert comma in this sentence. because you used the structure "both...and" . Therefore, you're wrong when you usethe comma in this case
the sentence below is correct.
I think so
