Is a comma necessary to open sentence with congratulations or welcome?

You are correct! A comma is not necessary when opening a sentence with "Congratulations" or "Welcome".

These words are considered interjections, and they don't require a comma unless they are followed by a direct address, like a name.

Here are some examples:

Without comma:

* Congratulations! You did it!

* Welcome to the team!

With comma:

* Congratulations, Sarah! You won the award!

* Welcome, everyone, to the party!

Let me know if you have any other grammar questions! 😊
