By popular demand from my active readers, I found this on ‘Literacy Education Online‘, here are the English comma rules in short form:

• Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction (and, or, but, nor, yet, for, so) that separates two independent clauses.
• Use a comma after an introductory word, phrase, or clause that comes before a main clause.
• Use commas around words, phrases, and clauses in the middle of a sentence when they aren’t essential to the meaning of the sentence.
• Use commas between items in a series.
• Use commas before and after a quotation within a sentence.
• Use a comma before an afterthought or contrasting element.
• Use commas to set off geographical names, items in date, and professional titles.

Now I only have to learn them.
