English help

Can you guys tell me when to use commas? English is my third language and I'm really bad at it so any help would be appreciated.

Commas normally occur in three places: between clauses, as a parenthetical phrase, and in a list of more than two items. A clause includes at least a subject and a verb. In a list, the comma occurs between each separated item in that list. A parenthetical phrase is a clause within a clause, not necessarily relevant to the sentence. They must have commas on either side of them. Read this post, which is written grammatically flawlessly, and try to identify why I've used commas in each situation! There is at least one example of each.
