To solve this worksheet, we need to add commas to separate items in a list. The rule is simple: when you have three or more things in a row (like actions, people, or days), put a comma after each one except the last one. You also usually put a comma before the word "and" that connects the last item. This helps the reader know where one item ends and the next begins.
Let’s go through each sentence step by step:
1. We are going to eat talk and watch a movie.
→ The actions are: eat, talk, watch
