Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.

You nailed it here! :)

Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or "take a breath" without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists

(Example)("Yesterday I saw a deer, a sparrow, and a nonfiction book.")
, or signify that you're talking to somebody.

A classic joke:

"Let's eat grandma!" vs. "Let's eat, grandma!"

"Commas save lives!"

πŸ˜‚ Hope that helps a bit! You're doing great though, don't worry. :)

At the very least, the only thing that got eaten was a bird. Sadly, deer are still illiterate 😒

Thanks for the comma-assistance, btw. πŸ€—
