Commas between multiple verbs with the same object
Hi,
I'm new here, so pardon me for any faux pas I may commit.
Having said so, here is my doubt:
When multiple verbs (or verbal phrases) use a single object, must they be separated (between them and between them and the verb) with commas? Is it advisable to separate them? If so, does it sound too formal?

Thanks in advance for your time

Hello, 3rd World Clown—and welcome to English Forums. Use commas sparingly—only when clarity is at stake. I see no call for them in your example, actually: SAT is a registered trademark of the College Entrance Examination Board, which was not involved in the production of and does not endorse this book.
