The proposal of the « it opened you softly the door to his room » has a grammatical foundation « you opened », and therefore constitute an offer, not atrafficking.
Comparative turnover in speech intonation stands and in writing - by commas.If the turnover is in the middle of a sentence, the commas are placed on both sides.Compare:
- I love the sun, motherly smile.
- Like the sun, like a motherly smile.
- love motherly smile like the sun.

Comparative turnover is not allocated by commas in such cases:
- If it is part of the predicate.In this case, you can put a dash.For example: child - like the sun gold .
- If the turnover in the foreground value of circumstances (usually mode of action, which answers the question How? ).Such momentum with both can usually be replaced by an adverb or a noun in the instrumental case, for example: tears flowed as streams ( cf.. : flowed in streams).
