#to_sentence(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Converts the array to a comma-separated sentence where the last element is joined by the connector word. Options:

  • :words_connector - The sign or word used to join the elements in arrays with two or more elements (default: “, ”)

  • :two_words_connector - The sign or word used to join the elements in arrays with two elements (default: “ and ”)

  • :last_word_connector - The sign or word used to join the last element in arrays with three or more elements (default: “, and ”)
