When Also Use a Comma?

The words too and also generally do not need commas with the exception of also at the beginning of the sentence. Historically too and also had commas before them at the end of the sentence. Since the words are just plain adverbs, there was never really a need to use those commas.

Where does the comma go in but also?

Because the second part is necessary to complete the expression, it needs to remain connected to the first part. Commas separate elements in a sentence. We don't want to separate the two parts, so we don't use a comma before but also.

Do you put a before also?

When used for rhetoric purposes, such as a parenthetical component, we may put a comma before “also”, particularly at the end of the sentence. ... Anyhow, no commas are needed at all when “also” is used midsentence as an adverbial complement, verb modifier, or as a correlative conjunction.
