Comma after instead at beginning of sentence?
Comma's are the hardest punctuation mark to place in a sentence. A comma can be placed after instead at the beginning of a sentence if the sentence is a continuation of the subject in the one before it.
What is the difference between a comma splice and a fused sentence?
A comma splice and a fused sentence are essentially the same thing: they are both incorrectly punctuating two independent clauses if not two sentences. An example of a comma splice would be: I need to do my homework, the assignment is due tomorrow. The reason this is a comma splice is because the comma is too "weak" to hold the two independent clauses together. You can correct the sentence in the following ways: I need to do my homework; the assignment is due tomorrow. I need to do my homework, and the assignment is due tomorrow. I need to do my homework. The assignment is do tomorrow. I need to do my homework because the assignment is due tomorrow. Fixing comma splices really depends on what it is that you are trying to say, but the constant factor is that there is a comma being used to separate two independent clauses, and a comma can never do that. The difference between a comma splice and a fused sentence is that while a comma splice uses a comma incorrectly to separate two independent clauses, fused sentences don't use any punctuation, and so the sentence literally becomes "fused". Take the previous example: I need to do my homework the assignment is due tomorrow. If you are still having trouble understanding comma splices and fused sentences, try looking up and studying the following terms: -Dependent Clause -Independent Clause -Coordinating Conjunction -Subordinating Conjunction -How to use a semi-colon -When to use a comma
Do you use a comma before parenthesis?
There might be a situation in which you would use a comma before a parenthesis, but generally you do not do this. A pair of parentheses already sets its contents apart from the rest of a sentence, so there is no need for a comma to precede the left parenthesis.
Do you use a comma before as applicable?
Yes, a comma is often used before "as applicable" when it follows an independent clause. For example, in a sentence like "Please submit your application, as applicable," the comma helps clarify the sentence structure. However, if "as applicable" is used at the end of a sentence without preceding clauses, a comma is not necessary. Always consider the clarity of the sentence when deciding on comma usage.
What do you need to know in order to find a compound sentence?

To put it more simply, a compound sentence is 2 complete sentences combined in to one whole sentence, separated by a comma.
