Commas between repeated words are used to clarify meaning and improve readability, especially in lists or when emphasizing a particular word. For example, in the phrase "he said, 'No, no, no,'" the commas help distinguish each repetition, indicating they are separate instances of the same response. This punctuation aids in conveying the intended tone and prevents confusion. Proper use of commas enhances overall clarity in writing.

Would you use commas in negative numbers?
Yes, commas can be used in negative numbers for clarity, especially when dealing with large figures. For example, -1,000 or -25,000 is clearer than -1000 or -25000. The use of commas helps to separate thousands, making it easier to read the number. However, in contexts where negative numbers are simple or small, such as -5 or -20, commas are typically unnecessary.

What are four rules for using commas?
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.
