Who are you putting on the special report?


Hello everyone, as the example sentence indicates, is it right to put a comma or make a pause when I am reading it? Like:


Who are you putting, on the special report?


Because I got this sentence from a Chinese dictionary, when I looked up the relevant sentences of "put on", I got it. I just ask whether I need to make a pause here, because I suppose the original sentence has nothing to do with the phrase "put on", what do you think of it?

No, this seems to be a mistake. You really don't need a comma here. A comma might make sense if it were a different question: What are you putting on, the special report? That would be possible if I were asking whether a producer intended to air the "special report" instead of some other program.

Hey, O, so do you mean the "put on" here means "assign", therefore, I don't need to break the sentence up?

If you are just talking about the contents of the special report, you don't need a comma. You will rarely need a comma in similar sentences. Even if we were talking about assigning an actor to perform in the "special report", we wouldn't need a comma: Who are you putting on the special report?
