The comma should go after "dog" in the sentence "Oh, have you seen my dog, Wolfie?" to indicate a pause after "dog" and to set off the name "Wolfie" as a nonrestrictive appositive.

Should you put a comma after asked?

It depends.For example, in the sentence:She asked if she could go too.There is no comma. But, In the sentence:She asked, "Can I go?"There is a comma.


Does a comma always go after the word which?

No. There is no rule that a comma must always follow the word "which." In a parenthetical or appositive phrase, however, a comma may be required.Example:I did what I thought was right which, as I came to find out, was not.


Does the comma go before 'but' or after?

It could go either ways?


Would a comma go after the word 'once'?

Yes, typically a comma is placed after the word 'once' when it is used at the beginning of a sentence to introduce a dependent clause. For example: "Once, I finish my homework, I will go out to play."


Where do you put a comma in a sentence?

Well pretty much whenever you would pause, a comma would go. For instance, here is an example : There was a big brown happy dog that enjoyed jumping. Of you read it outloud, you might have paused a few times. The commas would go like this: There aws a big, brown, happy dog that enjoyed jumping. But commas don't only just go in a list of things or descriptions. You also put them in when you have a part of a sentence that doesn't nessasarily need to be there. Example: The dog ran even faster, its paws thudding, until it reached home. I didn't need to add in "its paws thudding", so I put a comma in between it and the rest of the sentence. The sentence would still make sense if I just said "The dog ran even faster until it reached home." I hope I helped!
