  1. Sentence: After dinner, we went for a walk. Explanation: The comma is used here to separate the introductory phrase "After dinner" from the main clause "we went for a walk." This helps clarify the structure of the sentence and indicates a pause before the main point.

  2. Sentence: I invited Sarah, James, and Lucy to the party. Explanation: In this sentence, commas are used to separate items in a list (Sarah, James, and Lucy). This is necessary to clearly delineate each name and avoid confusion about who was invited.

  3. Sentence: The weather was rainy, but we decided to go hiking anyway.

This use of a comma helps clarify the relationship between the two complete thoughts.
