Sorry, that's far too wide-ranging a topic to cover here. Whole books have been written on the subject.
There are no specific words after which a comma should be placed. Placement of a comma is dependent on the entire sentence structure.

Thanks for your reply.

But there might be some basic and "primitive" rules.

Rule 1: Always begin a sentence with a capital letter.
Rule 2: Always end a sentence with a full stop (for statements), a question mark (for questions) and an exclamation mark (for exclamations).
Rule 3: Always capitalise proper names of people, pets, places, geographical features, days of the week and months of the year.

Those are the basic rules. After that it becomes more complicated.
