That is great news. It is true. The commas are very important in
English and so are the proper uses of the conjunctions. Keep up the good work.

I mean about that using them to write correct SENTENCES. We CAN'T put them any where we want. Such as, we can not put comma in subordinating conjunctions unless it starts at the beginning of the sentences. For example,
When Fatima was a child, she used to play a football with her friends.

Is it correct sir ??

thanks sir it was really helpful.. but i wanna ask one thing.. is it ok to not put comma before "and" ??

we used to not put it coz its really dont sound good to me and i dont think we really need it >.<

Generally, all the conjunctions are treat the same --- I think that the word 'and' is so common that people see it differently than the others. As a result, many people say do not add the comma. However, for me, I say if there is an independent clause on each side, we should use the comma.

But, if the comma is left out, it is considered a minor error with not too much importance. However, if you connect the two sentences with a comma only, it is considered a major error.

I hope this helps.
