Thank you
I think I am confused on the comma before the word and. I need to review some more. Was this simple stuff thirty years ago in highschool? I believe my brain has lost a few brain cells. Thanks for the help.

It is far simpler to understand the principle.
If you say something before you get the point of the sentence, add a comma.
If you build a sentence "backwards," add a comma.
After Janet fed the horse, she went to school.
To get a good start on our road trip, we left at three in the morning.
Very, very, VERY helpful.
Thank you,

Re: Commas (Part Three)
Thank you for doing this. God has recently stirred up my deisre to write, but I struggle with basic grammar. I used to find grammar so boring, and unnecessary, but one key to being able to communicate clearly is having a solid understanding of basic grammar. Thanks again!
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. -Acts 4:13

You're welcome, Cory.

I tend to get too wordy and blah, blah in my posts just because I find good grammar intriguing and lack of good grammar extremely distracting. Feel free to start new topics or ask questions.
