: Re: Using 'somehow' in a sentence This is what I have: Entering the house, she realized that somehow, inside was worse. I'm just using the comma here as a natural pause but should it have a comma
"Somehow" is an adverb. It is usually placed close to the verb it is describing and can be used without commas as a regular adverb.
Your sentence above doesn't require commas.
Entering the house, she realized that somehow inside was worse.
This isn't a "rule," but it's fairly common to see "somehow" used at the beginning or end of a sentence rather than in the middle...
Entering the house, she realized that inside was worse somehow.
... unless it is used as an aside, and then it would need to be surrounded by commas on both sides of the word.
Entering the house, she realized that, somehow, inside was worse.
As the sentence is written now, no commas are necessary.
