Ending a conversation..

What does a sentence consist of?
- A sentence consists of clauses (a verb + a noun)
- A noun (subject/ person/ place/ thing)
- A verb (action/ state/ occurrence).

Don’t use a comma before because as a general rule.

Example;
I want a pet because animals make me happy.

Do use a comma before because if the sentence’s meaning would be unclear without it.

Example:
I didn’t visit the shelter, because they had ferrets.
#

Do use a comma before and for the sake of clarity.

I love my dogs, Kesha and Bruno Mars.

Comma before and
Do use a comma before and if it precedes an independent clause.

Example:
The shelter had puppies, and I considered adopting one.

Don’t use a comma before and if it doesn’t precede an independent clause.

Example:
Maybe I’ll get a puppy and train it to do tricks.
