No comma before "that"

In German, you always put a comma before "dass". 
In English, you don't put a comma before "that"!


Examples:

It was shown that trace elements enhance microbial growth. 

Our results demonstrate that high levels of X cause Y.

I thought that you didn't like tomatoes!



Example of incorrect comma use:

It was shown, that trace elements enhance microbial growth.
