Comma before "including":
* When "including" introduces a list of items, the comma goes before it.
* Example: "We have many fruits in our store, including apples, oranges, and bananas."
Comma after "including":
* When "including" introduces a parenthetical phrase that could be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence, the comma goes after it.
* Example: "Our store offers a wide variety of fruits, including, but not limited to, apples, oranges, and bananas."
No comma needed:
* When "including" is used in a non-parenthetical phrase and is not introducing a list.
* Example: "The price includes shipping."
Here's a simple rule of thumb:
* If you can remove the phrase after "including" without changing the sentence's meaning, you need a comma after it.
* If the phrase after "including" is essential to the meaning of the sentence (like a list), you need a comma before it.
