comma after 'therefore)' [adverb, front position]: Therefore, we have

Hi,

Do we always use comma after therefore at the beginning of a sentence?

Therefore, we have decided to...

As you please. Some people claim that it's essential, but in a short sentence it makes little difference and is probably best omitted for aesthetic reasons. Remember, a comma represents a pause in speech or thought; if the thought of the sentence continues without hesitation, don't use the comma.
