Do you put comma after thanks?
If you are telling someone “thank you” directly, you always need a comma after “thank you.” This is the most common way of using the phrase, so in most cases you will want that comma. You should also put a comma or a period after “thank you” if it’s the last part of a letter or email before your name or signature.
How do you write grammatically correct thank you?
Remember that “thank-you” takes a hyphen when it’s modifying a noun, like “notes” in “thank-you notes”; and it takes a hyphen when it’s a singular or plural noun, as in “I hope you don’t have too many thank-yous left to write.”
Which is correct thanks John or thank you John?
“Thank you, John.”/”Thanks, John” is, to my understanding, perfect grammar. The last one is ‘perfect’ grammar because putting a comma between ‘thank you’ and ‘John’ (the person being directly spoken to) is proper. If you are continuing your sentence afterwards then a comma would also proceed the word John.
Do you use the comma in ” thanks, John “?
That many people do not use the comma is not indicative of correctness, merely practice. After all, many of us tell lies but that does not mean that lying is correct! The comma appears in the written language because if you were saying it there would naturally be a short pause there; you’d say “Thanks…John”, rather than “ThanksJohn”.
Can you thank John and James for one gift?
In another instance, for example John and James are family members who gave one gift from both, you could also quite properly thank both of them in one note (of course, it is always more formal, to send a paper note, but I digress). Aside from these two circumstances or others very similar, I would avoid trying to slide by with one thanks for two.
