Does the quotes go before or after commas?

Quotes go inside the commas.

Here's why:

* Clarity: Placing quotes inside commas makes it clear that the quoted phrase is part of the sentence and not a separate thought.

* Grammar: Commas are used to separate elements in a sentence, and the quotes should be treated as part of the element being separated.

Examples:

* Correct: "I'm going to the store," she said.

* Incorrect: "I'm going to the store", she said.
