Commas
Sometimes people use commas when they need to actually begin a new sentence. This is called a comma splice or run-on sentence. In other cases, forgetting to include a comma can cause a lot of confusion.
Commas are used to help the reader "hear" what you are trying to say in your writing. If you leave out the commas, your writing can become very hard to understand.
