But what happens when ...

13 Rules for Using Commas

1. Use a comma before any coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) that links two independent clauses; e.g.,: "I went running, and I saw a duck."

2. Use a comma after a dependent clause that starts a sentence. For example: "When I went running, I saw a duck."

3.Use commas to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence. For example, "While running, I saw a mallard, a kind of duck." Or, "A mallard, a kind of duck, attacked me."

4. Use commas to separate items in a series. For example, "I went to the store and bought bananas, apples, and grapes."

5. Use a comma after introductory adverbs: "Finally, I went running."

6.Use a comma when attributing quotes. For example, "The runner said, 'I saw a duck.'"

7.Use a comma to separate each element in an address.

8.Also use a comma to separate the elements in a full date. For example, "Friday, March 15, 2013, was a strange day." You don't need to add a comma when the sentence mentions only the month and year. "March 2013 was a strange month."

9,Use a comma when the first word of the sentence is a freestanding "yes" or "no."

10. Use a comma when directly addressing someone or something in a sentence.

11. Use a comma between two adjectives that modify the same noun. For example, "I saw a big, black bird."

12. Use a comma to offset negation in a sentence; e.g., "I saw a dog, not a cat, when I went running."

13. Use commas before every sequence of three numbers when writing a number larger than 999. (Two exceptions are writing years and house numbers.) For example, 10,000 or 1,304,687.
