Hi,

In the below sentence (marked right), there shouldn't be a comma after 'following direction's right?

•WRONG: Since the teacher introduced the classroom reward system, students have begun paying closer attention, completing homework, following directions, and have stopped causing disruptions during lessons.

–Here, the list of “begun” includes only 3 things… the fourth item is “stopped”… so the word “and” has to come before the last element in the string… and to make “begun” and “stopped” parallel, we need one more “and”.

•RIGHT: Since the teacher introduced the classroom reward system, students have begun paying closer attention, completing homework, AND following directions, and have stopped causing disruptions during lessons.

Sir, Just wanted to confirm.

So,  the correct form is : X,Y, and Z, and P.

X,Y, and Z, and P, Q, and R (This is correct as well)

And the form : X,Y, and Z and P is wrong.

Regards,
Bhanu
