Parentheses are used in a sentence to capture a note relating to the wording of the sentence. Dashes and commas set apart words in a sentence.
Commas are used in this sentence to separate items in a series or to set off non-essential information within the sentence. They help to clarify the structure and flow of the sentence, making it easier to read and understand. Dashes or parentheses could be used to provide emphasis or to set off particularly important or tangential information.
You use commas when your writing a list of things like fruit names. You would not just leave it like this apple orange grapes and pear. You would rather use commas like this apple, orange, grapes and pear.
The comma typically goes before the word "rather" when it is being used to introduce a contrasting idea in a sentence. For example, "I prefer tea, rather than coffee."
When adding parenthetical documentation at the end of a sentence, place the punctuation outside of the parentheses. This ensures that the punctuation is logically part of the sentence rather than the citation. For example, "This is a sample sentence (Smith, 2020)."
Not at the beginning of a sentence. As you know is a clausal sentence adverbial, and as such it should generally be set off by punctuation. That would mean a comma after it at the beginning of a sentence, a comma in front of it at the end of a sentence and commas on both ends when it appears in the middle of a sentence: "He is, as you know, rather obstinate."
A comma is used to separate items in a list or to join two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction or to separate items in a list when those items already contain commas. Review the context of the sentence and determine if the parts can stand alone as complete sentences.
The words 'John Doe' constitute what is known as a 'sentence interupter.' The flow of the sentence is interrupted by the words 'John Doe.' Go ahead and read the sentence aloud without the words 'John Doe' to get the feel of the flow of the sentence. Now read it again with the words 'John Doe'and you'll get the mildly jarring sense of the interruption. This is not to suggest that sentence interrupters are necessarily bad. They can be used to great effect as a form of emphasis. But they should be used sparingly. Sentence interrupters are set off by commas fore and aft. OK, I'll settle down. Put commas before and after a sentence interrupter. Example: 'One of the parties, John Doe, entered my ...' Note: In rare instances a sentence interrupter can be punctuated by dashes rather than commas.

It would be more normal to say I love you too, rather than I too love you, and furthermore, to be correct it would need commas: I, too, love you.
Conventional methods, such as handwashing, and tools, like soap and water, are effective in preventing the spread of germs.

Her mind flew so quickly; she had so much to remember that she forgot to stop at the light. This is a case for a semicolon rather than a dash.
None. Zillion is not a specific number. Rather it is a word to indicate a very large but unknown amount.
It is rather ambiguous in English, hence difficult to translate. Is 'read' present or past tense? Does 'as' mean 'while' or 'because'? Which part of the sentence is what you want translated into Spanish? Inverted commas round this would help!
i rather you go on a bike
semicolons are like commas with dots on top. Mine tend to look more like "j"s rather than this ;
