do you put a comma after and in the sentence below?:
The women asked her husband if he and his friends wanted coffe.
No
NO
No, and it's spelt "coffee". :)
Yes, a comma should be placed after "and" in the sentence you provided. The correct sentence would be:
"The women asked her husband if he and his friends wanted coffee."
To determine if a comma is needed after "and" in this case, you can use the following punctuation rule: When joining two independent clauses (complete thoughts) with a coordinating conjunction like "and," a comma should be used before the conjunction.
In this sentence, "he" and "his friends wanted coffee" are two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "and." Therefore, a comma should be placed before "and" to separate the two clauses.
