How much, you can put, these commas! Of course, it is impossible not to put them at all, but it is better if all the commas are in their place. They are more comfortable, and you are smarter.
Correctly: once I missed the plane
The nightmare of all travelers, and indeed of any person. It is better to obey your mother - and arrive in advance (five hours). And don't put an unnecessary comma after the word "once". This is an adverb that is mistaken for an introductory word and is separated by commas. In vain. It is easy to check for "false input": introductory words, as a rule, do not answer questions. So that's enough to ask a question. When did you miss the plane? One day.
Correctly: and it's almost summer
Two extra commas detected! But why? We don't know either. "Here" is a demonstrative particle, which is extremely rarely separated by commas. A comma is needed if the next part of the sentence clarifies, reveals the meaning of the previous one: “I have long wanted to tell the news. So now I classroom teacher 5 classes. For our example with almost summer (and many other examples with “here”), this option is not very suitable. Restrain your punctuation impulses.
Correctly: however, it's not that simple
However, everything is simple! Although ... Sometimes "however" is a false introductory word, sometimes it is an introductory one. If "however" is at the beginning simple sentence and it can be replaced with “but” - which means that you have before you not an introductory word, but a union. A comma can be used if “however” is followed by another separate phrase, for example: “However, as Mel predicts, most students will write the exam perfectly.” If “however” is in the middle or at the end of a sentence, then it may well be introductory word with the meaning of the opposition: "Here you have cheated me, however!" /
Correctly: to the same there is always a temptation to put a comma
Let's get acquainted with another false-introductory combination. There is no need for a comma after "besides". Only if after these words there is no isolated turnover. For example: besides, I think it would still not work out.
Correctly: Learning is great. Especially if they don't give homework.
If the adverb "especially" is at the beginning of a sentence, then punctuation marks are not put at all. And if a turnover with a clarification or explanation begins with the word “especially”, then it is completely isolated. For example: it's great to study, especially if they don't give homework.
Correctly: there are at least two errors in the text
What to do if you desperately want to put a comma after the misleading phrase “at least”? Just keep to yourself. We didn't say it, but the organizer " Total dictation” and Maria Rovinskaya, deputy head of the HSE School of Philology, in one interview. True, author's commas are sometimes allowed to emphasize the intonational pause. But, in secret, copyright punctuation marks are possible anywhere. Only tsss.
Correctly: he came to school as an experienced teacher
The comma before “how” infuriates us too, don’t worry. Because it can be difficult to determine when it is needed and when it is not. It’s easier to go from the opposite: remember when a comma before “how” is needed, and in all other cases do not put it. A comma is needed in turns with demonstrative words: “as ... as”, “such ... as”, “that ... as” and “as ... as”, “as and ...”. Also useful in comparative turnovers(I want to be like the president). And finally in complex sentences when "as" joins subordinate clause. Here we do not have a comparison, but the meaning "as". Who did you come to school as? Experienced teacher. Read carefully - there is no other recipe.
Correctly: dear reader "Mel"
Not exactly a misleading word, but a very common childhood mistake. The rule with appeals pass almost in primary school and it haunts us for the rest of our lives. And yes, we do manage to get them wrong. Calls really need to be separated by commas (always!). In our version, the word "dear" (still popular for mistakes "respected") is included in the circulation and is not separated by a comma. If there was some kind of greeting before the appeal (“good afternoon, dear Olga Vasilyeva”) - then a comma is in place.
Correctly: Either way, you'll have to pass the exams.
Remember that in the combinations "in any case", "as a last resort", "in our case" (and a dozen more combinations that were not included in this text) - a comma is not needed.

Answer from Artu Sulkonen[guru]
it depends on the case, it can be written like that..
How to write the “besides” construction, you will learn from this article.
Russian language is beautiful and at the same time Difficult language. To write correctly, you need to know many rules and exceptions to them. In this article, we will look at how to write introductory phrase"Besides". Do I need to separate with commas?
“Besides” is an introductory word, separated by commas?
The phrase "besides" often serves not as an introductory word, but as a union. It is distinguished by commas on both sides very rarely, more often it is not isolated.
Not separated by commas when:
- If the construct points to something. For example: "He led me to the same place."
- The conjunction function uses "in addition" but it can be semantically and equivalently replaced by the word "in addition" or "to everything".
For example:“The woman came back to place an order, and besides, she had neither money nor money with her. plastic card". Another example: "We have a lot to learn from people who are calm and measured, and also marked as smart."
It is separated by commas in such cases:
- When an author makes his individual "author's use" this phrase in an unusual syntactic function. Therefore, "besides," although rare, can be an introductory construction.
- For example: Dostoevsky often used this non-classical construction in his stories. In his novel The Idiot, there is this line: “Besides, as soon as you start talking, you stop being a philosopher.”
How to correctly punctuate with clarifying and connecting turns?
In sentences, intonation or meaning, words are distinguished that have the meaning of clarification or attachment. They perform the function of additional words. In such sentences, commas are used to separate these sentence members. How to correctly punctuate with clarifying and connecting turns?
Refinement turns:
- When clarifying, the members of the sentence are separated by commas at the beginning and at the end, and also on both sides if the construction is in the middle of the sentence. For example: "Today, at eight o'clock in the evening, there will be a meeting" (when? - at eight o'clock in the evening). Clarification can answer the question: “how exactly?”, “Where exactly?”.
- The construction "in addition" will be separated by a comma if "in addition" is meant. This clarification is often found in Russian. For example: "I also like to play the guitar."
Explanatory phrases:
- If the sentence begins with the adjunctive turnover "to the same", then a comma is placed after this construction. “Besides, it rained every day.”
- If the sentence contains this construction with the union "and", then the comma is not put. “I was a little dumbfounded and also too embarrassed by his words.”
Conclusion: If the construction "besides" appears in the sentence as a union, then it is not separated by commas. With clarifying and explanatory phrases, it is separated by commas.
Yes, besides: is a comma put at the beginning of a sentence?
If this is a connecting construction that is in the middle of a sentence, then a comma must be placed. For example: "We did not know what to do next, and besides, this is the end of the entire production cycle."
“Yes, besides”: is a comma placed at the beginning of a sentence? In this case, there is no need to put a comma, since the construction “besides” acts as a union. For example: "Yes, besides, he came late."
