Although some of these might seem quite obvious, here are the four main rules that I can think of:
Commas are always used in lists of things.
Example: I like to eat chocolate, steak, pavlova, ice cream and chops.
Commas are either used in lists (like the above example), or when you are saying a sentence and need to pause or take a breath in the middle of it.
Commas always come straight after a word, never a space and then the comma.
Example: word, is correct. word , is not correct.
This is a fairly new rule that was introduced a few years ago, which a lot of people don't actually use:
There is never supposed to be a comma in front of the word 'and', as the word 'and' is supposed to be a pause within itself, although most people do not pay attention to this rule.
Example: I like turtles, dogs, horses, dolphins, and cats. -This sentence would not be 'gramatically correct, although at the moment no one pays much attention to this rule.
I like turtles, dogs, horses, dolphins and cats. -This is the correct way to write it.
