Sometimes it takes a third-grader to make it all clear...

Leila: Mrs. B, why do I hafta put a comma there?

Mrs. B: Well, that's a bit tricky. It's because of the word "too." The problem is, you used to always have to put a comma there because that word means "also" and you'd have a bit of a pause there, but now they sometimes say you don't need it. It is probably best to put it there and maybe the rules will be more clear when you get to high school.

Leila: (slight pause) Um, yeah. I didn't understand a word you just said.
