I'm not gonna lie. My grammar is terrible, so I'm just going to start my first grammar post with the basic comma. I have always struggled with commas. I think I know where to put one and it turns out it was wrong, or I don't think I need one when I do. so I decided to read up and refresh on them. I relearned about the "fanboys" meaning I use a comma before for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. I am also supposed to use them after an introductory clauses or phrases. such as after, although, as, because, if, since, and when. I also learned that I do not use a comma to set off essential elements of the sentence. like that.
there are so many rules for these dang little squiggles and People have written books on them, but i feel that by reading this website it has helped me understand the rule a bit better, and I look forward to be able to use them right.
