When is it not appropriate to use a comma?

Answer 1

When you want to introduce a list

To replace the word and in compound sentences

Answer 2

Commas are for taking a break in a sentence, not as long as a full stop though. Usually you would use a comma to join two sentences together, only you'd put a claus such as only or however. Put the clauses either before or after the comma. Remember to use commas in lists, just not in between the last two things in the list, for that part you put and. Never Start A Sentence With And!

examples of how to use commas:

I bought potatoes, carrots, chocolate biscuits, chinese crackers and a huge pumpkin.

Mum, when do we get to go home, I'm famished(hungry).

Answer 3

In a sentence, you would put commas here:

I saw a penny in the street yesterday, and it was very shiny!

You put a comma instead of 'and' and periods, however, if there are more than two (2) compound items, one always places an 'and' INSTEAD of a comma before the last item. To wit:

My friend was angry, sweating and rude when he yelled at the bartender.

Answer 4

To be basic, whenever you pause naturally in a sentence (imagine saying it out loud) you put a comma.
It's not exactly that simple though, so here:

Answer 5

commas are ofter used to enclose words in a sentence, information that is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Such words are preceded and followed by a comma. As an alternative explanation, commas are used to separate clauses - a dependent clause from an independent clause. So, an example would be "my cat, if you do not mind me saying so, ran up your tree". The main point is that "my cat ran up your tree" the rest of the sentence is not relevent to that action.
