๐ Topic Summary
Commas and periods are super important for making your sentences clear! When you write a list of things, you use commas to separate each item. Think of them as little pauses. But, before the very last item in your list, you usually add the word 'and'. A period goes at the very end of your sentence to show that you're done. ๐
For example: I like dogs, cats, and birds.
