I chose comma usage as my part of grammar to work on. I think there are many different uses for commas and we are too busy trying to put them in the right places and we add many commas unnecessarily. Some of comma usage is personal preference which can make it more difficult to distinguish the right place from the wrong.
Example:
- We bought scarves, mittens and sweaters before leaving for Iceland. (comma unnecessary before "and")
- We ate apples, plums, and strawberry and kiwi compote. (comma needed before "and" for clarity)
