  • 🧑‍🏫 Direct Address: Use commas to set off the name or title of the person you're speaking to.
  • 👋 Example: "Sarah, are you coming to the party?" or "Yes, Doctor, I understand."
  • 📣 Interjections: Use commas to separate mild interjections from the rest of the sentence.
  • 😲 Example: "Wow, that was amazing!" or "Well, I guess we should go."
  • Tag Questions: Use a comma before a tag question at the end of a sentence.
  • ✅ Example: "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" or "You're coming, right?"
  • 💡 Tip: Interjections like 'oh' and 'ah' can be followed by an exclamation point if the emotion is strong!
