In English sentence, I dont know how to use `and`or `comma`.
For example,
A,B,andC →A,B,C→AandBandC
Does it mean A,B,andC are parslel ?
I have another .
S V to do , to do.
Can I use commas as `and`?

I remember when I was abroad , the trees,and grass,and wet leaves,rustling in the walks of the Tuileries,seemed to be as much English ,to be as much the same trees and grass that I had always been used to,as the sun shining over my head was the same which I saw in England.
When I read this sentence, I think that if the trees,and grass,and wet leaves are the nominative of `seemed`, they should be the trees, grass,andwet leaves.So the `and`between trees and grass seem to be no need.
Then I also think `A,B,andC` is`A,B,C` or`AandBandC`,If more than 3 nouns are coordination in sentences.
And `seemed to be as mush English, to be as mush the same~~~~`
In this sentence, I think `seemed to be~~,to be~~`should be `seemed to be~ and to be~~`, so The`and`seems to be need.
Then I also think I use `comma`as `and`.

In sentences ,there are rules ,but there are various styles.So I decide not to dwell on them much.
