There are only two correct ways to join TWO INDEPENDENT clauses: - Put a comma (, ) and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, so) between them - Put a semi-colon ( ; ) between them When you combine INDEPENDENT and SUBORDINATE clauses, do you need a comma between them? - If the subordinate clause comes before an independent clause, you always need a comma (, ) between them - DON’T put a comma between them if the independent clause is first
