Do you use commas before the word reagarding?

It depends on the context!

* If "regarding" is introducing a dependent clause, you usually need a comma:

* "I have some questions regarding your recent order, please contact me at this number."

* If "regarding" is introducing a prepositional phrase, you usually don't need a comma:

* "I have some questions regarding the upcoming event."

Here's a simple way to think about it:

* Comma: If the sentence can stand alone without the phrase after "regarding", you likely need a comma.

* No comma: If the phrase after "regarding" is essential to understanding the sentence, you likely don't need a comma.

Example:

* "I have some questions, regarding your recent order." (Comma needed - "I have some questions" is a complete thought)

* "I have some questions regarding your recent order." (No comma needed - "regarding your recent order" is essential to understanding the questions)
