You do not typically use a comma directly before or after the word "but" when it is used as a conjunction to connect two independent clauses. However, you may use a comma before "but" when it is used to introduce a contrasting element in a sentence.
A comma is typically used before a conjunction (e.g., and, but, or) when joining two independent clauses. However, a comma is not generally used before a preposition, unless it is necessary for clarity or emphasis.
Yes, a comma is typically used before "as" when it is used as a conjunction to introduce a dependent clause in a sentence.
No, you don't use or put a comma before 'but' instead place it after it (but). Why? Simply because the word 'but' itself' acts as a comma, you pause when you get there. Never stop or pause the sentence until you get to the word itself as it acts out as a comma, even though there are some times where you can get a comma after it.
Yes, you can use a comma after "before" when it is used as a conjunction or adverb to indicate time, but it is not always necessary. It depends on the structure of the sentence and whether the comma helps with clarity or readability.
When joining two independent clauses with a conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or"), use a comma before the conjunction. For example: "She finished her work, and then she went home."

A comma is not required before the word "because" when it is used in the middle of a sentence for a standard causal relationship. However, if "because" is used at the beginning of a sentence to introduce the reason, a comma is usually used after it.
There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. Commas indicate a pause in speech, or the introduction of a clause, or some other separation of ideas necessary to prevent confusion.
