In a compound sentence do you use a comma before the word and?
Example: It was hot, humid, and raining. In the example above, the comma after "humid" is unnecessary but acceptable. The use of the comma before 'and' is called the 'serial comma' or the 'Oxford comma', it's optional. Many people use the serial comma for clarity. The other use of a comma is to break up a long sentence, and signifies a slight pause. Example: He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base.
