Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.

You nailed it here! :)
Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or “take a breath” without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists, or signify that you’re talking to somebody.
A classic joke:
“Let’s eat grandma!”
“Let’s eat, grandma!”
“Commas save lives!”
😂 Hope that helps a bit! You’re doing great though, don’t worry. :)

At the very least, the only thing that got eaten was a bird. Sadly, deer are still illiterate 😢
Thanks for the comma-assistance, btw. 🤗
