Commas are punctuation that is used very frequently
Commas can be used in series or lists, compound and complex sentences, between adjectives, etc.

Commas in a Series
Commas are used to separate items in a series
You put and before the last item.
Ex: I like peaches, berries, and corn.

Commas in Compound and Complex Sentences
Commas (followed by a conjunction) are used to divide each independent clause in a compound sentence.
Ex: I like pie, and she likes rainbows.
Commas separate the dependent clause from the independent clause in a complex sentence only if the dependent clause comes first
Ex: When we found out, we wept in sorrow.

Commas Between Adjectives
Commas can be used to divide adjectives describing one thing in a sentence
Ex: The huge, burly man waltzed into the room.
