- Learn how to use commas and clauses in this English Writing Essentials lesson on important punctuation rules.

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. An independent clause can function as a standalone sentence. A dependent clause must be joined by an independent clause to function as a sentence. We join two independent clauses together with a comma plus a coordinating conjunction. If a dependent clause comes before an independent clause, we must use a comma after the dependent clause.

As a 75 yo and in retirement for over a dozen years, these tutorials are a great resource. Thank you.
Without teachers like you, we wouldn't know how to write correctly. 🙂

Thank you so much, Jennifer!

Keep up the great work!
It is one of the most under rated channels on RUclips.
You are so sweet. Thank you for your kind words! 😍
You are AMAZING❤
This is such an important subject.
As bad as I am when it comes to our language; I'm a target on line to those less gifted when it comes to our language.
I've always said when asked, "What happened to the ancient people, if they were so smart?" My response is still the same, by comparison to our society today, by the decaying of our education system. Our children are getting fat from the land. Those who are overly educated, fail because of the lack of dexterity to move from the basement to the kitchen to feed themselves.
I love this channel because of its purpose; to develop those who still care about our society.
I think this is the reason most rich people give their money away, instead of giving it all to their children, because they want them to become who they are as a person, and not a burden unto their own selves.
Thank you..!
Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!

Side question and second time asking: Is there such a thing as perfect punctuation, or is it just something from the perspective of the speaker/writer?
I've learned alot from you. Really, thank you! ❤
I have two questions 🙏
Are these sentences correct?
1. I visited many places: England, Rome; Italy, Madrid; Spain.
2. " If you study hard," said my mother, " you or You will succeed."

I'm not biased here, but I can say Canadians are the best teachers compared to the US and British teachers when it comes to teaching English in depth. They explain in detail.
