Before the game started the team, warmed up to energizing music contains a comma error

EXPLANATION:

  • It must be "Before the game started", "the team warmed up to energizing music". Commas customarily indicate a brief pause; however, they are not as final as periods. Major mistakes in the comma usage of commas can 'change the meaning of a word' or modify the whole 'meaning of the sentence'.
  • Any sentence can an independent and subordinate clause. A main or an independent clause 'can stand alone as a sentence'. It has a verb and a subject and conveys a whole thought. However, a subordinate or 'dependent clause cannot stand alone' as a sentence. Although it has a subject and a verb, but it does not convey a whole thought. When an 'adverbial dependent clause' comes before the 'independent clause', we put a 'comma after the dependent clause'.  
  • In this case before the game started is a 'dependent clause' that too an adverbial dependent clause (a dependent clause which acts as an adverb) which comes before the independent clause the team warmed up to energizing music. Hence, the comma must be before the 'independent clause' here and also to make sense or meaning to the sentence.
