1. I went to the store, picked up some groceries, and then went home. In this sentence, the comma is used to separate the different actions (going to the store, picking up groceries, and going home) in a compound sentence.
2. The cat, who was sleeping on the couch, woke up suddenly. Here, the comma is used to set off a dependent clause (who was sleeping on the couch) from the main clause, providing additional information about the subject (the cat).
3. Jane is going to Hawaii, her dream vacation spot. In this sentence, the comma is used to set off a nonessential clause (her dream vacation spot) from the main clause, providing additional information about the noun (Hawaii) without changing the overall meaning of the sentence.

1. I went to the store and picked up groceries. The comma here is not needed as there is no need to separate any distinct items or ideas.
2. The cat woke up suddenly. Similar to the previous sentence, there is no need for a comma as there are no additional clauses or phrases to separate.
3. Jane is going to Hawaii, a dream vacation spot for her. Here, the comma is needed to set off the extra information phrase "a dream vacation spot for her" from the main clause.
