I learned American English back in my country, Japan, and noticed that commas are often omitted between a dependent clause and following independent clause when I started studying in Australia. Is it common in British English?

@Anonymous Thank you

@Mitus Yes, dependent clauses that come after independent clauses are often without commas. I should have pointed that out in my video.

@Lee Yes, these are the most widely accepted rules for comma use.

@Kavitha Thank you for sharing your story! Would you mind if I included it in a ‘testimonials’ page I am making? Congratulations!

@Junaid Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I will keep trying to get the model responses up. I am visiting family in Toronto at the moment, so I am a little short on free time. I will post as much as I can.

@Maria Excellent idea! I’ve made a few small videos on cohesive phrases, but perhaps I should try to make a longer one that explains the topic thoroughly.

Hi Manju,

That is a great idea. I will try my best to pull something together.

Good luck,
Ryan
