Do you use a comma in a series of the word or?
no
Is there a comma after and?
No, don't use a comma after "and" in a series. There are two acceptable comma styles for series. One includes a comma before the final "and" (red, yellow, and blue). The other does not include the final comma (red, yellow and blue).
Do I use a comma in a series of names before the word and?
Yes, you would typically use a comma before the word "and" in a series of names. For example: "I invited John, Sarah, and Alex to the party."

The main rule of a comma is to use it to separate the elements in a series of three or more things. You should also use a comma to set off quoted elements and to separate coordinate adjectives.
Lesson 49 The comma with a series?
yes comma is needed after three or more words in a series.
Do you use a comma in a series of words before and?
Yes, in a series of words separated by "and," use a comma before the final "and" to separate the items clearly. This is known as the Oxford comma and is typically used in American English for clarity and to avoid confusion in longer lists.
Is there a comma before and in a list?
No. Usually in a list there is/are no comma(s). The list would instead go something like this: Mum's Shopping List: #Bread #milk #soup etc, etc.
Do you put a comma after the second word in a sequence of 3?
It can be either way, although it is more common to leave out the comma. The comma, if used, is called the Oxford comma, the Harvard comma(,) or the serial comma, where the first two refer to prestigious universities and the third refers to the series of items.
Do you need a comma after and?
I think you are thinking of a series comma. It is used when there are three or more things listed. Example: I bought the butter, milk, and eggs. The second comma is the series comma. I was taught that it is the preferred method, but many publishers do not use it, particuarly newspapers. No. In lists you can omit the last comma: the idea is that the comma takes the place of and anyhow. This method is more common in England. In America the use of the extra comma (called the Oxford comma) is more common. Like the above answerers have already explained, you don't necessarily need the last comma in a series of words/phrases. Whether you use it or not depends on where you learned English, who you learned it from, and personal preference. I think the extra comma helps the reader to understand what they are reading, but it really doesn't matter. <br /><br /> However, you may also be talking about using <i>and</i> in a compound sentence. For example, you would say, "George ran a mile, and he also practiced rim shots." Note the comma between the two complete phrases. You only put it there if the second phrase is insubordinate, or stand-alone (it needs a subject and a predicate). Without the comma, you would have to remove the subject like so: "George ran a mile and also practiced rim shots." <br /><br /> As a review, you DO use a comma if you have two or more STAND-ALONE (subject and predicate) clauses.
Does a comma always go before and in a series?
Yes
Is it correct to use a comma after the word and?
No. After the word and comma can not be used, as it is grammatically inappropriate to use comma after conjunctions such as and, which are called coordinate conjunctions.
Is there a comma after third?
Yes, there is typically a comma after "third" when it precedes a list of items in a series. For example, you would write, "I have apples, oranges, and third, bananas." However, if "third" is used in a different context, such as "the third book in the series," no comma is needed. Always consider the sentence structure to determine comma placement.
