No punctuation between independent clauses Ted scored thirty points Sam scored ten points. Two independent clauses without a comma before one of the FANBOYS The robins usually arrive in the spring and they start building nests at once. EX 1: you could put a period/semicolon between those clauses. You could also put a FANBOY with a comma. EX 3: this is what I have seen the most of. Make sure to study those comma rules!!
