	Kooyeen  +  503954 Tue, 22 Apr 08 08:33 PM Hi, commas are used on many occasions. For example, I would have used two in your sentence: I know we use it before names when we talk to someone, for instance, but that can't be the only use can it? I'm afraid I am not able to help you much, because I never had problems with commas, since they are used the same way in my native language. Generally speaking, you should use commas whenever you feel the reader should make a little pause. Listening English will help you understand the rhythm, and practicing reading will help you recognize the most used patterns for punctuation.
