COMMA

It is a punctuation mark, yes punctuation, and it is very important when you are writing something because commas help us give meaning to the words we are writing. 

Commas can be used in many situations and I can promise you, you will need to use them at some point in your life mainly in your English/Writing class.

Never use a comma at the end of a sentence. 

Commas only indicate a brief pause, not a full stop.

Never use a comma to separate two subjects if they are doing the same thing.

They like being together don't worry.

Never use a comma before the first item of a list

See it looks ugly: Felicity bought, milk, flour, eggs and some berries.

See it looks nice: Felicity bought milk, flour, eggs, and some berries. 

Never use a comma to separate items if you already chose a conjunction.
