I’m now in New York and will be here for ten days. Then I’m flying to India. We’ve been over this one a few times, PJ.
- I’m now in New York and will be here for ten days.
- Then I’m flying to India.
- We’ve been over this one a few times, PJ.
- Here are a couple of explanations that you might want to save for future reference: Do not use a comma between the parts of a compound predicate ("now in New York" and "will be here for ten days".
- "Then" is an adverb, not a conjunction like "and"; therefore, you will need to use either a period or a semicolon before it if you have two independent clauses (sentences).
