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

    Oh! Sorry. I don’t know how to place English commas, lol.

    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. :)
