therefore vs therefore,

Both "therefore" and "therefore," are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Therefore" is used as a conjunctive adverb to show a conclusion or result, while "therefore," is used to introduce a conclusion in a sentence. The presence or absence of the comma changes the function of the word.
