Comma after the phrase "for example"?
Hi, Do we need to place a comma or not in situations like these?
We use the word "some" for both countable and uncountable nouns, for example "I have some money."
He seems to have a lot of trinkets in his pocket, for example a plastic necklace, a rubber watch and plastic ring.
He has been confronting many issues that require immediate attention, for example, worsening crime rates, high delinquesnt rate of high school students and loose hygene habits of local people.

In speech, a pause before for example helps the hearer to associate it with the right words. In writing, a comma is a good option in such cases. CB
