I seem to remember being taught to use a comma after introductory phrases, such as in Tomorrow, I will go to the store. However, a friend of mine says a comma is not needed here. Is the comma correct, incorrect, or optional?
Would it make a difference if the introductory phrase were longer? After breakfast tomorrow, I will go to the store.
Thanks!

1I think the comma in the shorter example is optional (either way is fine) but the longer example needs the comma.– Max WilliamsCommented Oct 23, 2017 at 16:50

More like a probable duplicate...:-)– Rob_SterCommented Oct 23, 2017 at 18:10

The candidate duplicate mentioned above actually addresses the situation where there is a second, parenthetical, introductory element.– Edwin AshworthCommented Oct 23, 2017 at 22:13
