📚 Quick Study Guide

    🔍 When you list three or more things, you need commas to separate them.
  • 🍎 Use a comma after each item in the list, except for the last one.
  • 📝 The last comma before 'and' or 'or' is called the Oxford comma (it's optional but often recommended!).
  • 💡 Example: I like apples, bananas, and oranges.
