    I think that the commenter, like me, understood it as that the deer was reading a non-fiction book while eating a sparrow. Which is an interesting image

        You nailed it here! :)

        Commas basically go where you want to separate two thoughts in a sentence or “take a breath” without the full stop of a period. They also often separate objects in lists

        (Example)

        (“Yesterday I saw a deer, a sparrow, and a nonfiction book.”) :::, or signify that you’re talking to somebody.

        A classic joke:

        “Let’s eat grandma!” vs. “Let’s eat, grandma!”

        “Commas save lives!”

        😂 Hope that helps a bit! You’re doing great though, don’t worry. :)
