It isn't easy holding complex sentences together (just ask a conjunction or a subordinate), but the clever little comma can help lighten the load. But how to tell when help is really needed? Terisa Folaron offers some tricks of the comma trade. [Directed by Brett Underhill, narrated by Julianna Zarzycki]. 

Commas play a crucial role in holding complex sentences together, especially when conjunctions and subordinates come into play. Just like tiny community helpers, commas often step in to balance the weight between clauses or ideas. Simple rules, like remembering the FANBOYS acronym for conjunctions, can transform tricky sentence structures into clear communication. Understanding when a comma's help is actually needed can make writing smoother and more precise.
