Not always: the word "which" requires a comma when used as an indefinite pronoun, in contrast to the incorrect use that was originally in this post: "sentences which require a comma before the word "which" are far less frequent" (not only is that incorrect - that use of the word would take a comma as well - it is an unverifiable assertion). That sentence should have taken the definite "that", as in, "sentences that require..."
" In speech, the difference is usually expressed by a difference in intonation. In writing, a restrictiverelative clause is not set off by commas, and that is the preferred subject or object of the clause, although many writers use which and who or whom for such clauses. A nonrestrictive clause is set off within commas, and which, who, or whom, not that, is the relative pronoun to use as the subject or object of the verb of the clause."
No, a comma before "which" is not always required. It depends on whether the clause following "which" is essential to the meaning of the sentence. If the clause is essential, no comma is needed; if it is non-essential or additional information, a comma is used.
No, a comma is not needed after that particular "well." If "well" is at the beginning of a sentence, such as in "Well, I am going to go now." it does need a comma after it. You must use a comma when beginning a sentence with "well." Because "well" is used as an introductory word, it must be followed by a comma. ------ the question is in regard to the phrase: "as well as" not for the word "well" i have consorted with my fellow grammarians and we concur that you would use a comma prior to "as well as" but not after as well.

A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined without appropriate punctuation. A comma splice involves connecting two independent clauses with just a comma. To correct these errors, you can separate the clauses with a period, semicolon, or coordinating conjunction.
