No, there is not a requirement for a comma to come after the word since in a sentence.
More importantly, make sure you are being accurate when using the word since. Many people mistakenly substitute since for because, most likely due to being told to never begin a sentence with the word because.
Since indicates a passage of time:
"It has been three years since I have seen you."
Because indicates a reason:
"It has been three years since I have seen you because I moved to a different state."
Note, too, that you can rearrange that sentence so that it begins with the word because:
"Because I moved to a different state, it has been three years since I have seen you."
Many times when we're just learning the rules of grammer, our teachers tell us not to start a sentence with it because it always begins a dependent clause. As long as you complete the thought, you're OK.
What else can I help you with?
Where should a comma go in the sentence you water it and let it get lots of sunshine?
you don't need a comma in that sentence, since the And is a word that combines both sentences. using a comma would make the sentence look like this; you water it, then let it get lots of sunshine
Where does the comma go around but?
It's impossible to say, since the placement of the comma depends on the rest of the sentence (and is often optional in any event).
Should there always be a comma after the word hopefully?
No, there should not always be a comma after the word "hopefully." It depends on the sentence structure. When "hopefully" is at the beginning of a sentence, it is often followed by a comma, but if it is used within a sentence, a comma is not necessary.
Do you put a comma after yes when starting a sentence?
No, a comma is not needed after "yes" when starting a sentence.
How would you see if a sentence had a comma splice?
If a sentence consists of two independent clauses with a comma between them, it is a comma splice. That is, the part before the comma can stand on its own as a sentence, and the part after the comma can also stand on its own as a sentence, then it is a comma splice. If there is no punctuation there instead of a comma, it is known as a run-on sentence.
Do you put a comma before since in We decided to meet there since she works nearby?
No. In your example, the word "since" is used as a conjunction, like the word "but" or the word "and" so no comma is required. However, if you reversed the order of the phrases, you would need a comma to separate them, e.g., "Since she works nearby, we decided to meet there."

However, if the parentheses are at the end of a sentence and the sentence does not require a comma, then no comma is needed.
