dependent and independent clauses - Mrs Grammar

Posted: Aug 4th, 2015 - 11:48 am In Reply to: Audit Question - of the Day

One uses a comma before and, but, or IF they separate two independent phrases (can stand alone as a sentence).

He ... but is on his feet all the time:
in this case is on his feet all the time is a dependent clause

If the sentence was
He... , but HE is on his feet all the time: You would need a comma since HE is on his feet all the time can stand alone as a sentence.

I learned this in 7th grade.
