: Re: Where does the comma go when using 'but'? In English, I can never remember where to put the comma when using the conjunction word, but. For example: I'd like to stay home and read a book,

The first and second examples are correct. The third example is actually more of a sentence fragment. If you are presenting it like it is written in, say, dialogue, then no comma is necessary, unless of course you wish to show a pause (As though you wrote "But" he said "where is Godot?"). If you wrote "I know where ______ is, but where is Godot?" then the comma would be required. Otherwise, it would be best to present it simply as "Where is Godot?". Hope that answers your question.
