We're practicing comma rules for a little while.
People have a lot of different ways to explain how commas work. It's tough; they do many different things.
We'll talk about what a comma is in a "big-picture" way, but, mainly, we're going to learn the basic rules one by one.
Today's rule is useful - you need to use a comma to separate two independent clauses joined together by a coordinating conjunction.
It's easy, once I explain what an independent clause and a coordinating conjunction are. That's kind of tricky.
There's a quizlet set that helps you practice this rule.
