Then, she proceeded with her grocery shopping.
I went to the store, and I bought some milk.
Yes, there should be a comma after "for example" when it is used to introduce an example in a sentence. This helps to separate the example from the rest of the sentence for clarity and to indicate a pause.
Yes, there should be a comma after "told" in a sentence such as "He told me, that he would be late." This comma is used to separate the introductory clause from the main clause and improve clarity in the sentence.
Yes, typically there is a comma after "for instance" in a sentence to separate it from the rest of the sentence and provide a clear break before introducing an example.
Yes, a comma is typically used after the state in a sentence to separate it from the rest of the sentence. For example, "She lives in Seattle, Washington."
A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses that are usually separated by a comma, like in this example.

It depends. Here are examples: In this sentence, a comma is only necessary after the "for example": For example, yesterday she fell down and didn't even cry. In this sentence, a comma is necessary before and after "for example": You, for example, would also be depressed if you were failing trigonometry.
Example: It was hot, humid, and raining. In the example above, the comma after "humid" is unnecessary but acceptable. The use of the comma before 'and' is called the 'serial comma' or the 'Oxford comma', it's optional. Many people use the serial comma for clarity. The other use of a comma is to break up a long sentence, and signifies a slight pause. Example: He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base.
Yes, when using "either" at the end of a sentence to indicate a choice between two options, it is recommended to include a comma before it. For example: "Would you like tea or coffee, either?"
A comma splice is when two independent clauses are joined by a comma alone, which is grammatically incorrect. A run-on sentence, on the other hand, is when two independent clauses are joined without any punctuation or conjunction, creating a lengthy or confusing sentence. Both errors can lead to confusion and should be avoided in writing.
There is no word in English that necessarily requires a comma. Commas are features of the sentence. Sometimes a comma may go before if, for example when it introduces a new clause: We will wear rain-gear, if it becomes necessary. And sometimes a comma may go after if, for example in this sentence, when another thought is inserted into the structure. Generally there is no comma with if.
It depends on the sentence structure. If "recently" is modifying the rest of the sentence, then use a comma. If it is modifying a specific verb, do not use a comma. Example 1: Recently, I discovered that I'm not as wild about blueberries as I used to be. Example 2: I recently discovered that I'm not as wild about blueberries as I used to be.
In English, use a comma before someone's name when directly addressing them in a sentence or letter. For example: "John, could you please pass me the salt?"
Yes, you can put a comma before except. Example of a comma before except in a sentence- She can do it, except that the mountain is too steep
In general, no, but there are some situations in which using a comma after "but" is correct. If the word "but" is followed by an expression that needs to be set off by commas, then you would put a comma after "but" and another comma after the expression. Here is an example: I was going to say no, but, because you have presented such a persuasive argument, I have decided to allow it. An example of a more typical sentence using "but", where there is a comma before but not after "but", is the first sentence in this answer.
A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are connected with only a comma. To identify a comma splice, look for two complete sentences joined together with a comma without a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, etc.) or a semicolon. Fix a comma splice by adding a coordinating conjunction, replacing the comma with a semicolon, or using a period to make separate sentences.
