Because

I only did it because of her.

I only did it, because of her.


In what situations, can we omit the comma?

  

Top answer

You would normally use no comma because in most situations because of her is important. The comma would only be used In a situation where because of her is not important. In such a situation, you might even just say ' eg I didn't plan it.

onelookIn what situations, situations [no comma] can we omit the comma?

When a dependent clause follows a main clause, we don't use a comma, so there's no reason to have a comma in your sentence before 'because'.
