LarrySun:
If you wish to stay beyond the period booked it is essential that you contact reception office on the evening before the originally-planned departure date.

This example is a conditional sentence. It is important to talk about the rule for using commas in a conditional sentence. They usually have two parts. The part with "if" is a conditional clause. The main clause is the result.

They can come in any order, but in written English if the conditional clause comes first, you put a comma between it and the main clause. You don't use a comma if the main clause comes first. In your example, for instance, there should be a comma between the phrases. I also would have added "the" between contact and reception. It just sounds better to me.

If you wish to stay beyond the period booked(,) it is essential that you contact (the) reception office on the evening before the originally-planned departure date.

In conclusion, while writing, have these two words in mind: Sex Sells.

Once you put an underground sex theme to your work, even the rigid writers and readers like larrysun, hbg etc will commend your work grincheesy

Finally, Mr Larry is able to bless us with lectures on punctuation marks. Even if they are just three, it's commendable. Better late than never. Thanks, Nairaland Literature Section is indebted!

You've really helped me with the use of 'comma'. I don't know why, comma confuses me a lot.

Thanks, Larry.

And Texanomaly, you're right. Thanks.

hey whitemosquito, this is the sample I want you to help me with....

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Presentation Meeting was finally over. It had lasted longer than she’d anticipated. Dragged on by an endless stream of questions, debates, reassurances and defences, it had taken an hour and half longer to close up.


Now that it was all over, hosts and Participants were now clustering in twos and threes for the usual after-work chitchat.
Alexandra Ameze Iguodaro usually enjoyed the blow-off-steam chitchats that followed this sort of meetings. But not this time. She was running late already. Her iPad, notepad and laptop neatly gathered and dropped into her black briefcase handbag, she got swiftly to her feet. Indicating by a nod of her head that she was leaving, she left her Creative Director, Nicholas to finish off whatever was left.


She glided effortlessly on her black heels, through the elegantly furnished and conventionally designed conference hall of the Heritage Hotel towards the door, making sure to avoid eye contact with any of the chitchatting groups.


The bid for the hotel’s advertising contract had been made almost three months earlier when the newly acquired Heritage Hotel property at Adeola Odeku had still been undergoing finishing touches. With the edifice now an awe-inspiring reality, a Presentation Meeting with only three of the bidding advertising agencies had been scheduled for that afternoon. And because they’d been just three, she hadn’t expected the meeting to take long at all.


The second her feet stepped through the open slide door into the hall, Alex raced for the elevator, hoping to be inside it before anyone would notice and stop her.


“Ms Alexandra?”


The calm grave voice of the hotel’s Advertising Manager halted her.


Alex stared at the elevator desperately, just one more step and she’d have made it too, she sighed. She was almost tempted to take that step. But this was the Manager in charge of a contract she was bidding for. So fixing a bright smile on her face she turned.

“Yes, Mr. Kwan?” For Christ’s sakes let this not be another Q & A section!


She watched with a silent desperation as the compactly built man walked towards her in what she’d come to term his unhurried-quick-steps.


**Thanks smiley ***
