Having some trouble on the comma rule with the word "usually". If it is used in the beginning of the sentence would you put a comma after it? For instance, in the sentence, "Usually castles sat on a hilltop and had high stone walls." Would you put a comma after "usually" since it seems like an introductory word? Thanks.
