What to Focus On

  • A comma looks like a small curved tail: ,
  • It shows a short pause while reading.
  • It helps separate items in a list or address someone directly.

  • Use commas between items in a list of three or more.
  • Put a comma before 'and' in the last item (optional but helpful).
  • This helps avoid confusion.

  • Use a comma when calling someone by name.
  • The comma comes right after the name or title.
  • This helps the reader know who is being spoken to.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We should always put a comma before 'and' in a list, no matter what.

If a sentence is long, we should put commas wherever we take a breath.

We should put a comma after every 'and' in a sentence.
