Commas: usage convention #3
We usually put commas in between parallel elements in a list of more than two.
e.g. I like apples, oranges, and bananas.
e.g. I like to dance, (to) sing, and (to) act.
When there are more than two parallel elements in a sentence playing the same grammatical role, we usually use commas to separate them.
