Commas can be used in simple sentences, mostly in the following ways:
1. After an introductory clause or phrase --
After the dance, we went out for hamburgers.
2. Before and after a non-essential (parenthetical) phrase --
The twins, as well as their cousins, attended the wedding.
3. In a series --
I ate bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast.
4. To separate coordinate adjectives --
The old, distinguished lawyer is very good in the courtroom.

Can commas be used in simple sentences? I mean not after adjectives?

"Anna gave my sister and me the dollhouse.", not "Anna gave my sister and I the dollohouse.": The test is "Anna gave me the dollhouse." Correct? Thank you!
Yes, you're correct.
In the future, you should post a new question with the Post a New Question link instead of piggybacking onto another question and answer. It's likely to be overlooked if you don't make it a new question.
Thanks.
