USE OF COMMAS IN CAUSE AND EFFECT SENTENCES

Conjuctions such as: therefore, consequently, as a result, and for this reason are usually followed by a comma. As in these examples:
a. It was cold. Therefore, I put on my scarf.

b. It was cold; consequently, I put on my scarf.

The advervial clause conjuctions "since" and "because" are exceptions. The comma is placed at the end of the subordinate clause. As in these examples:

a. I stayed at home, because it was raining.

b. It was raining, so I stayed at home.
