ETC Uses: How and Where

When you are writing similar things, you can write them by putting a comma in between and then when you do not want to mention all the things (in case the list is very long) you can just put "etc." after the "," so that the sentence will not be lengthy all the similar things don't have to be mentioned. "Etc." can be used as an alternative to "so on"

It is only at the end of the sentence that you write "etc."

For instance, in the sentence: We have to get pencils, erasers, notebooks, pens, paper, paper clips, sharpeners, whiteners, and glue from the stationery.

Here, instead of writing all the things that we need to get from the stationery shop, we can simply write: We have to get pencils, erasers, notebooks, etc. from the stationery.
