Comma

Hi Everyone,

Which sentence looks correct?

- Marshmallows are delicious, but unhealthy.

- Marshmallows are delicious but unhealthy.


With, or without comma?

You generally don't use a comma in a sentence without two independent clauses. However, the dependent clause is ellipsed.


Thanks,
