The Use of Commas
This question appears to vague because there are many different ways. Here are some basic ways of comma usage:
-Whenever you have what is called a "FANBOYS" you use a comma before a "FANBOYS".
Now as you are probably wondering, what is a FANBOY? A "FANBOYS" is an acronym that stands for:
*for
*and
*nor
*but
*or
*yet
*so
So whenever you have a "FANBOYS" you put a comma in front of the "FANBOYS", HOWEVER, this rule only applies if you have two independent clauses. Now you are probably wondering what an independent clause is. An independent clause is a complete sentence that consist of a subject and a verb; it also makes complete sense.
Example:
The man went to the store, and the woman went home.
"The man went to the store is an independent clause, and "the woman went home" is an independent clause". So between the the two independent clauses you put a "FANBOYS".
Now if you have an independent clause and a phrase you do not put a comma between the independent clause and phrase. A phrase does not consist of either a subject or verb, and it does not make sense.
Example:
The student did her homework and went to bed.
*note "the student did her homework" is an independent clause, however, "went to bed" is a phrase because it does not have a subject; it also does not make sense.
*There are MANY different ways to use commas. This is just one of the many basics.
No. After the word and comma can not be used, as it is grammatically inappropriate to use comma after conjunctions such as and, which are called coordinate conjunctions.
Example: It was hot, humid, and raining. In the example above, the comma after "humid" is unnecessary but acceptable. The use of the comma before 'and' is called the 'serial comma' or the 'Oxford comma', it's optional. Many people use the serial comma for clarity. The other use of a comma is to break up a long sentence, and signifies a slight pause. Example: He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base.
The comma would come after it.
Use comma in a writing. Procedurel Text, Recounts Or others.

You can use a comma after an opener , so if it is 'Finally' the opener you are talking about, then yes.
In a company name such as "ABC Corp," do not use a comma. However, use a comma in the formulation, "ABC, Inc."
You can use ", and" or just "and" but not just a comma.
The use of a comma does not depend on the word, it depends on the sentence structure. At times a comma will follow 'which' and at other times it will not.
Example: It was hot, humid, and raining. In the example above, the comma after "humid" is unnecessary but acceptable. The use of the comma before 'and' is called the 'serial comma' or the 'Oxford comma', it's optional. Many people use the serial comma for clarity. The other use of a comma is to break up a long sentence, and signifies a slight pause. Example: He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base.
if the main or most important part is before the main parts you use a comma, but if it is after then no comma
