You would never use a comma between the d and s in the word periods because it is the plural form of the word period. Now if you were showing a possession of someone then you would use the comma. Here are some examples:

  • Cally's cat ran away from home.
  • The cat's food was terrible so she went to live with Cally's mother.
  • Cally's mother likes the cat better than Cally and treats the cat better than Cally.
  • Cally was too busy because she was always missing her class periods, therefore she failed to feed decent food to her cat.
  • Cally's mother and the cat would never part now.

Which sentence does not contain any errors in comma usage A. Mount Everest is in the Himalayas on the border between China and Nepal. B. Has he ever driven to Myrtle Beach South Carolina?

Considering these four sentences: A: Mount Everest is in the Himalayas, on the border, between China and Nepal. B: Has he ever driven to Myrtle Beach South Carolina? C: This year Labor Day is on Monday September 2. D: On October 1, 1890, Yosemite National Park was established. The answer is D. In A, there is an extra comma after the word border, and some would say after Himalayas as well. In B, there is a comma missing between the city (Myrtle Beach) and the state (South Carolina). In C, there is a comma missing between the day (Monday) and the month (September). That leaves D as correct.

It depends on the style guide you are following. In American English, the comma before "and" in a list is known as the Oxford comma, and it's optional. In British English, the Oxford comma is typically not used. It's essential to be consistent in your use of the Oxford comma throughout your writing.
