comma needed?

Hello

Is that comma needed after "must be" below?

<<When it comes to language, we can't just agree to disagree--at least not when it comes to subjects and verbs. If your subject is singular, your verb must be, too. Usually, this is easy:

  • "The boy eats the pie."
  • "The people eat the pie.">>

There is no rule. Adverbs can be comma'd off at your discretion.
