📦 The "Want" List
Look at how the text lists things someone desires. When we have many items, we use a comma and put "and" before the last one.
Item 1, Item 2, and Item 3
From the text:
- "...a house, a car, and money every month."
Simple Rule:
- No comma? → Only 2 things (a house and a car).
- Comma? → 3 or more things (a house, a car, and money).
