Grammer Post: Those Crazy Commas

Commas can at times be really confusing for me. When writing an essay I want it to be good and use the correct punctuation. How I can achieve this goal is by taking it a sentence at a time. I have been told throughout high school many different ways to use commas in a series, but I have never known which one to believe, making me have an issue with it. I have been told when listing things to not put a comma before the and, and I also have been told just the opposite. The correct way to use the comma is to put it before the and. You can look at this site for more information.

  1. I know what you mean. My teachers told me differently too. So I just got with the comma before and.
