I agree with tdol's reponse. Additionally, adverbs usually follow the verb BE:

I am really...

Where the adverb preceeds the verb BE,

I really am...

punctuation is usually introduced to set the adverb off, so as to stop it from breaking up the integrity of the Subject+BE sequence, lik this,

I, really, am...

All the best,

Many thanks to both of you sir

Hmmm. I've never run across that comma rule. :?

It depends- it can have commas or not- if it is intensifying the verb then I wouldn't, but if it's a sentencial adverb, I would.;-)

In Japan, it's best to say, "Yes", and then do whatever you like.
