comma before or after adverb? go for a walk, especially when

[lhworld]

Hi there,
Where should I put comma in this sentence?
Or do I even need a comma here?
If the sentence needs a comma, how do I know where to use in this particular sentence?

1) I go for a walk more especially, when the weather is nice.

2) I go for a walk more, especially when the weather is nice.

3) I go for a walk more especially when the weather is nice.

 

[Ceremoniar]

As the sentence stands by itself, you would not need the word more, and would simply write I go for a walk, especially when the weather is nice. If, however, you had been writing about how you prefer to walk, rather than bicycle or something else, but still did both, then number two would be correct.

how about, "I go for a walk more often, especially when the weather is nice." ??

or, "I go for a walk often, especially when the weather is nice."

 

[Languagethinkerlover]

Especially already addresses the fact that you walk often (or more likely to walk) when the weather is nice.

You could also write, "I go walking especially when the weather is nice."

 

[Fabulist]

The "more" is appropriate but only under specific circumstances, and it would usually require adding another word to the sentence.

"For a long time, I could not walk much because of my knee injury. Now I walk more, especially when the weather is nice." Here, "more" does not cover "especially."

"More" should not be used as an adverb to modify "especially"; there, it would be redundant.

If you do use "more," then you need to follow it with a comma. Neither sentence #1 nor sentence #3 is proper English.
