Just like numbers, comma is another element that often creates unlcear sentences. Here are five rules to go by:
1. Use a comma before introductory element (word, clause, and sentence).
Example: After I attend the class, I will go to lunch.
2. Use commas when you list elements - you may either omit or use the comma before "and"
Example: Apple, pears, and strawberry
3. Use a comma with conjunctions between independent clauses.
Example: I study for exam, but I still think about where to go for vacation.
4. Use commas when you separate the quotes.
Example: "It is essential to raise the bar of educators," the official of education department said, "as the task is urgent to equip children with higher standard of living."
5. Use a comma to make the sentence clearer.
Example: Inside, people are gathering for the conference.
