There's probably a more efficient way to do this, but I always go to the
start of the first/last line, press Ctrl-v (enters visual block mode),
mark the lines I want to comment, then press 'I', make my changes and
then exit visual mode again by pressing Esc

You can do something similar in visual mode as well, I don't remember
exactly how though.

How did you set a mark "a"?

sometimes some row at the beginning you might not plan to comment, it's not
some pre-thought, it might need comment during the testing procedure,

Thanks,

I set a mark "a" at the first row that I want to comment, then move the
cursor to the last row I want commented and type:

:'a,.s/^/# /g

This assumes you want the comment the entire line.
