The commas are correctly placed before and after this phrase.## Step 2The second sentence is "We also ate homemade not store-bought, bread." The phrase "not store-bought" is a parenthetical expression. The comma is correctly placed before this phrase, but it should also be placed after it to correctly separate it from the rest of the sentence.## Step 3The third sentence is "You are lucky, indeed, to have a grandmother who is a wonderful cook." The phrase "indeed" is a parenthetical expression. The commas are correctly placed before and after this phrase.## Step 4The fourth sentence is "She has decided, however, to clean her entire apartment first." The phrase "however" is a parenthetical expression. The comma is correctly placed before this phrase, but it should also be placed after it to correctly separate it from the rest of the sentence.## Step 5The fifth sentence is "If I were you Emma I would consider taking that job."
