| When we write compound sentences with the object clause, we mustn't use a comma. Study these examples: I think that I am happy. I believe that we will never be friends. Tell me what you want! I guess it will be useful. I guess he'll be here soon. Similar syntactical patterns in the Russian language require the use of the comma, for example: Я думаю, что я счастлив! So, this is a case of language interference! This is almost an inborn language feature, that's why it's difficult to get rid of it.
