Do you put a comma after the word also?

Whether you put a comma after "also" depends on its role in the sentence:

1. "Also" as an introductory word:

* Yes, use a comma.

* Example: "Also, I would like to add that..."

2. "Also" as a conjunction:

* No, don't use a comma.

* Example: "He is a good student and also a talented athlete."

3. "Also" as a modifier:

* No, don't use a comma.

* Example: "The also available blue version is very popular."

In doubt, consider the following:

* If "also" introduces a new independent clause, use a comma.

* If "also" is part of the same clause, don't use a comma.

Here's a quick summary:

| Use | Comma? | Example |

|---|---|---|

| Introductory word | Yes | Also, I'm not sure about that. |

| Conjunction | No | He's funny and also very smart. |

| Modifier | No | The also available green color is nice. |
