Commas are the one thing that always confuses me. Knowing exactly where to put them and where not to put them can be a little tricky. Most comma situations are easy to use.

Commas Separate List Items
Commas are always used to separate items in a list. These items can be real things, or places you go. Below are some examples:

- I have lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow in my handbag.
- Yesterday I went to school, played soccer, went to the park, and then went home for my dinner.
