I think commas belong in all of those sentences. There is another way to structure sentences to show that same idea, which is probably used more often than "When speaking with adults, be polite." Here are a couple examples:

Be attentive when listening to a teacher's explanations.
Overall, your English is very good and these are nice sentences! Good work! :)
