What are the rules for using commas with conjunctions?

The rules for using commas with conjunctions are as follows:

1. Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet) when it connects two independent clauses. Example: "I went to the store, and I bought some groceries."

2. Do not use a comma before a coordinating conjunction when it connects two items in a series. Example: "She likes to read books, watch movies, and listen to music."

3. Use a comma after a dependent clause when it is followed by an independent clause. Example: "Although it was raining, we still went for a walk."

4. Do not use a comma when the conjunction connects two words or phrases. Example: "He likes coffee and tea."

5. Use a comma before a subordinating conjunction (after, although, because, before, if, since, unless, until, when, while) when it begins a dependent clause. Example: "Before we leave, let's finish our work."

6. Do not use a comma when the subordinating conjunction is in the middle of a sentence. Example: "I will go to the party if I have time."

Remember to follow these rules to ensure proper comma usage with conjunctions.
