Is there a comma after thus?

It depends on the context! Here's a breakdown:

When "thus" is used as a conjunction:

* Yes, use a comma: When "thus" introduces a dependent clause, a comma is needed.

* Example: "It was raining heavily, thus making it difficult to drive."

When "thus" is used as an adverb:

* No, no comma needed: When "thus" modifies a verb or clause, it doesn't need a comma.

To be sure, consider the sentence structure and the meaning of "thus" in your specific case.
