Answer 1

Comma faults happen for lots of reasons. A good explanation of their use can really help.

I regularly have to go back over what I wrote and fix my own comma issues. I tend to put a comma where there was a pause in my thoughts. However, that is not a proper use of the comma in text. Learning the rules can make a huge difference in the quality of your writing.

Answer 2

Skiing in the winter, and swimming in the summer are my favorite sports.

Answer 3

That comma would imply they were separate sentences. Is "Skiing in the winter" a complete sentence?

Answer 4

And the answer is no.... so correct.
