Quick Question about Grammar?

Question

Well, it's a quick question about the word, 'but'. I know it's "wrong" to start a sentence with the word 'but', but reading many things written today, it seems that particular errors becoming more of a myth. Basically, I just need to know which sentence I write is right, or if they're both right.

1.) "But what is so important that we can't take you two with us?"
OR
2.) "But, what is so important that we can't take you two with us?"

That's all I really need to know, besides another quick question about comma-placing.

Does the comma go here: "But, Morgan, it's time to go!" or here: "But Morgan, it's time to go!"

Thank you all for your help in advance, those two little things have been bugging me with the fact that they look wrong to me no matter where I put them.

Answer 1

The first option is correct.

Answer 2

Actually they are both wrong bc the but isn't needed...and as for the whole Morgan one I'm not to sure but I'd say the first one bc Morgan is an interrupter...

Answer 3

All of the examples work OK, but they have slightly different meanings. Say them aloud with a pause where the comma goes.

Answer 4

its the first but because you need to use a comma to separate two different thoughts but, you only have one.

Its the first ,Morgan, because you are renaming a noun

Answer 5

for the but one, i think the first one is right and for the morgan one the second one is right.

Answer 6

The second options are correct for both.
