Commas have many uses in marking off elements in sentences. They can be used after introductory phrases, as interrupters within parenthetical expressions, to indicate contrasting elements, with nonessential examples and titles, to mark off dialogue and quotations, with dates and addresses, before fanboy words joining two independent clauses, with nonessential clauses and phrases, in a series, between coordinate adjectives. While there are many comma rules, their overall purpose is to clarify meaning and enhance readability.
