It all depends on the context.
As a general rule, it is suggested that commas should be avoided wherever possible. This helps to make a passage more continuous.
The best way is to consider how you would say it out loud. If you find a section of the sentence where you pause whilst reading then this is usually where the comma should go.
Β
Therefore, read the sentence out loud before you add the comma.
Β
In the sentence above, I had to pause after therefore.
But, for example, in the sentence:
Β
He was short and therefore unable to reach the book on the top shelf.
Β
The comma was not required because I didnβt have to pause after therefore.
Β
