Comma/No Comma?? "Happy birthday, Sara" VS "Happy birthday Sara"?

I've always thought it was "Happy birthday, Sara." But now that I think about it I don't know why there would be a comma. What is it? And what about "Thank you, Sara?"

  • If you are addressing a person, the name is set off with a comma/commas.

    Happy birthday, Sara. Thank you, Sara.

    Sara, you are a good friend. The thing I like about you, Sara, is that you are a good friend.

  • Happy Birthday Comma

  • Whenever you make a statement or ask a question and you direct it to the person you are speaking with, you always place a comma before their name.

    EXAMPLE: Thank you, Sara. Happy birthday, Sara.

  • The comma is correct in both cases.

  • Ive heard it before but its funny. Star

  • yes, comma.

  • It can be either way.
