Do you put a comma after including?

Answer 1

You mean in a phrase like this?

He's always been late for everything, including his own wedding.

No. In this and similar constructions, you would put one before it. You would never put one after.

The only time you would have one after it is if it were followed by a phrase that requires commas around it, like this:

Remember to bring everything we need for the barbecue, including, of course, the meat.

Here the phrase "of course" requires the commas. It just happens to follow "including," but "including" is not the reason for the comma.

Answer 2

Yes and no. Depends on the sentence.

We are including you. NO comma

The dog chases animals, including cats. YES comma

She bought an old bikeincluding a camera. NO comma (bought both a bike and a camera, but they aren't the same things)

They bought and old bike, including the wheels. YES comma (bought a wheelswith the bike or a part of the bike)

Answer 3

Yes, when "including" is used in a sentence, typically a comma is placed both before and after it to separate the included information from the rest of the sentence.
