The 5 comma mistakes that everyone makes without realizing it are more common than you might think — and they often persist even among people who write reasonably well. One of the main reasons is the mistaken idea that commas are used to mark pauses in reading, when in fact they have a syntactic function, which sometimes coincides with a pause, sometimes not.

This video presents five simple but often misunderstood cases involving the use of commas in the following situations: repeated words, interjections, vocatives, affirmative responses, and adversative conjunctions. The examples show how punctuation can directly affect the meaning of a sentence — and why it is worth mastering its use consciously.

This type of analysis is part of what is covered in depth in the Punctuation Course, which proposes a clear and structured approach to the subject. Instead of memorizing isolated rules, students understand how each sign works within the logic of the language. For those interested in this type of in-depth study, it is worth knowing that registration will open on the 30th.

The Course is recommended for those who want to write with more clarity, confidence and intention — whether in professional, academic or creative contexts. The video offers a sample of the content covered in more detail in the Course. It is worth watching until the end to identify these subtle errors and understand how to avoid them in practice.
