Should I put a comma after "So"?

When I am reviewing the grammar of the books, this error is always marked, but I notice that in some narratives they do not use it. Should I mark it as an error?

When 'so' has been used as a coordinating conjunction, then I'd say comma is necessary. However, it is not such a serious error, so when reading a book, you may consider not counting it under the objective errors section. On the other hand, when writing a review, it is advisable to add it to avoid risking being marked down for failing to do so. In cases where 'so' has not been used as a coordinating conjunction, I believe adding a comma is is unnecessary and can even be considered an error.Sarai Burgos wrote: ↑11 Mar 2022, 09:34 When I am reviewing the grammar of the books, this error is always marked, but I notice that in some narratives they do not use it.
