Heyoo. Hope this helps! I included some things to note (below) when you come across this topic again so you can understand it better. :)

Tip #1
Commas are used to separate items in a list. Example: I bought doughnuts, ketchup and a trampoline. From the exercise number 7 is a good example of what I am trying to convey.

Tip #2
Commas are also used to create a natural pause in conversations/ speeches. Example: You were dishonest to me, why? A few good examples from the exercise are numbers 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8.

Tip #3
Commas are also used for sentences that explain both the cause and effect. Example: I am a student, that is why I am always stressed. From the exercise, numbers 10, 11 and 9. (Haha I used commas here too).

Tip #4
Commas are also used to separate information. Note: usually, these sentences can stand alone with or without the information between the commas.
Example: My current therapy group, which is located a few kilometers from here, is the best I have been to.
Can this sentence stand alone without the information in between?
My current therapy group, is the best I have been to.
Yesssiiirrr :) it can definitely stand alone.
Some examples from the exercise are numbers 23, 24 and 25.

Anywwaaayyy...again I hope this helps! Feel free to ask me anything else or even if you want further explanations.

Don't forget your body paragraphs! and a thesis!
