Commas: They show separate words or ideas in a
sentence.

Commas should be used after ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and also
the names and titles at the beginning of a sentence.

Examples:

Yes, I can hear you clearly.
Mum, can you make me a sandwich?

Try it:

I can’t hear you.

Commas should be used between two similar adjectives.

Examples:
I hate this cold, windy weather.

This is a small, cheap bag.

Try it:

I have such a friend.

Commas should be used in a list of things.

Examples:

I love reading, dancing, and playing.
The teacher plays, talks, and goes out with us.

Try it:

My friends at my house.
