Commas: commas with and, but, and or (and other coordinating conjunctions, a coordinating conjunction is a word used to connect other words.

One of the most common problems involving using a comma right before a coordinating conjunction in what is or what only appears to be a compound sentence: f. a. n. b. o. y. s, avoiding the problem: commas and complete sentences. Place a comma before a coordinating conjunction that is used to combine two sentences. Do not use a comma when what comes after is not a complete sentence. If a word or group of words coming at the beginning of a sentence can be moved around, then it is probably an introductory element: avoiding the problem: playing it safe. First, if possible, determine the preferences of your readers.
