sentences together. You should also know that a comma can sometimes serve

perfectly punctuate your writing with the comma will be explained and
detailed as you read on.
Ensure to use commas to make your statement clearer.
Perhaps you have groups and different categories of words; use commas for
separation in order to avoid confusing the readers.

mother

company staff

and other relatives.

two
adjectives.
Using “and” isn’t a bad idea, but applying a comma makes your writing
eloquent and intelligent.
