Comma Rules Explained

In this animated lesson from Grammar Ville, the characters explore the rules for using commas. The video covers three main rules: using commas to separate items in a list, placing commas before coordinating conjunctions, and using commas to separate the date and year. The lesson is presented in a fun and engaging way, with characters like Comma Cowboy and Period Pete helping to illustrate the rules. The episode concludes with a promise of more comma rules in the next episode.
