When forming a question, a comma is not typically used before the question mark. However, a comma can be used to separate a list of items in the question itself, such as "Do you need apples, oranges, or bananas?"
No, you do not need to add a comma before using the word "plus" when connecting two phrases or clauses. The word "plus" can be used as a conjunction to join two ideas without requiring a comma.
In general, no, but there are some situations in which using a comma after "but" is correct. If the word "but" is followed by an expression that needs to be set off by commas, then you would put a comma after "but" and another comma after the expression. Here is an example: I was going to say no, but, because you have presented such a persuasive argument, I have decided to allow it. An example of a more typical sentence using "but", where there is a comma before but not after "but", is the first sentence in this answer.
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.
