Commas in Lists
Grade 2 · English Language Arts · Grammar and Mechanics · Arizona, USA
Lesson Summary
Use commas to separate three or more items in a list.
Explanation
When you write a list of three or more things in a sentence, put a comma between each item. For example: 'I bought apples, bananas, and grapes.' Without commas, the sentence would be confusing: 'I bought apples bananas and grapes.' The last item in the list usually has the word 'and' before it. The comma before 'and' is optional, but it can make your writing clearer.
