A weak person, in connection with this, he constantly needs self-affirmation.
Today we have a failure in connection, we are already working on this, everything will be fine soon.
These statements are combined using the same phrase. And in each case, the punctuation marks are different. Let's solve this problem together.
No comma needed between words
"In connection with this" - do I need a comma between words?
The placement of this punctuation mark between words in this combination depends on some features of the syntactic construction. If the sentence is simple, you can not put a comma. For example:
- I was suspected in connection with this criminal.
- Mr. Eliot caught his lackey in connection with this deceiver.
- Your affairs need to be corrected in connection with this provision.
Comma needed between words
Let's consider cases when the question: "In the phrase "In connection with this" is a comma needed?"we will answer: “Need.”
This will be when the sentence is complex, and one word will remain in the first part of it, and the other will be at the beginning of the second. Here are some examples:
- My neighbor had an affair with my wife, I couldn't put up with it.
- This ISP has frequent outages due to this, something needs to be done about it.
"In this regard" is separated by commas?
It happens that some people think: are there cases of highlighting this combination of words? The answer to this question is unequivocal: no. The fact is that introductory words, appeals, isolated members stand out in the sentence. This phrase does not apply to any of the listed linguistic phenomena.
Do I need a comma before "in connection with this"?
An affirmative answer to this question is possible if the sentence is complex, and its second part begins with this phrase. A few examples of this:
- The school has announced a quarantine, in connection with this we have unscheduled holidays.
- The Olympiad in all subjects is held in December, in this regard, the school tour must be held no later than November.
- The dining room closed for special service, so we have to be content with sandwiches.
Tomorrow we will be late until the evening, in this regard, I ask you, dear parents, provide the children with sandwiches
When you need to put a comma after this combination
Let's ask ourselves this question now: after the combinationthe words "in connection with this" need a comma? It turns out that it is needed if the first part of a complex sentence ends with it. Here are examples of such syntactic constructions:
- He thought it was too dangerous to delay.
- It was therefore decided that the troops should move out immediately.
- The General decided in connection with this that it is necessary to tighten the flanks.
- The command decided in connection with this that it is necessary to immediately take advantage of the current situation.
So we looked at the cases in which a comma is placed after “in connection with this”.
So, we have considered all kinds of examples of the use of such a seemingly simple linguistic phenomenon, which, upon close acquaintance, manifests itself as a more complex structure: sometimes it consists of independent words, sometimes we see a preposition in it, sometimes it is used as subordinating union.
When dealing with the combination "in connection with this", we must analyze all possible cases of setting a comma. It's worth practicing it. Next, we offer you special texts that can be used for this purpose.

Read the text. What role does this combination play?
Few people know that the first abbreviations, or abbreviations, appeared a very long time ago - along with writing. Abbreviations, which were present in large numbers in the text, were a necessity, since the material on which the books were written was expensive. Even more expensive was the work of the scribe,working for months on just one book, in connection with this, standard abbreviations began to appear that every educated person should have known. Usually these were proper names calling famous people, frequently used verbs and the most famous biblical and church words.
There were two ways to abbreviate: either by the first and last letter (in this case, a special title was placed above the abbreviation), or only one letter remained instead of the word.
Answer to the question: this is a union that connects the main clause and the subordinate clause with the meaning of the consequence.

Despite the fact that in our time the language differs in many ways from Old Slavonic, compound words have the same function - they aim to save space and time. After all, it’s faster and easier to use a short three-letter abbreviation than to write out a long definition or name consisting of several, sometimes very complex, words.
However, the use of such abbreviations requires taking into account subtleties and overcoming certain difficulties. In particular, you need to determine the type of abbreviations and be able to decline them. There are unchangeable words, for example, MGU, OOO and the like, but there are also such stable abbreviations that in the minds of people have the status of a whole word and change accordingly. This makes it difficult to use abbreviations. You can avoid these difficulties by remembering one simple rule: the genus is determined by the mainword: Moscow State University - university (male), UN - organization (female).
Answering the question: this is a preposition with a pronoun.

I am an MTS subscriber, and I often have interruptions in connection, so I contacted the nearest office of the mentioned provider. But there was nothing they could do to help me. Then I came to another salon, a young man worked there, who didn’t know anything at all. The only adequate employee was in the third salon. Hearing about the interruptions in communication, I turned to someone on the phone with this issue. Soon everything got better. But still, I have since deciphered MTS as “I can hear you in places.”
Answer to the question: in this text there are two cases of using a combination, in both of them the words are independent: “in connection” is a noun, “with this” is a demonstrative pronoun.
