      Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

      “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” is a grammatically correct sentence in English that is often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity.

      I feel like there needs to be a comma somewhere in that sentence but I don’t know why…

        Knowing there should be a comma in the sentence, is half the battle. Knowing why… is the other half.
