Let’s go through each sentence one by one. The goal is to add commas to separate items in a list — just like how you pause when speaking.
Remember: When you have three or more things in a row, put a comma after each item except the last one (and usually before “and” too — that’s called the Oxford comma, and it helps avoid confusion).
