Commas are to be placed before conjunctions, when separating examples or items in a list, and before the word and when naming lists of things. Also, commas should be used after introducing a sentence with words like also and then. They should also be used after calling someone by name in a sentence and before and after words like however and therefor.
Here are examples:
1. Lists and Name Intros.
