Grammar
commas before and
Hello,
I would like to know in which case one would put a comma before "and."
I understand that a comma can be used as a serial comma before and to make sure that the meaning of the sentence remains proper.
However, I understand there are other cases in which one would put a comma before "and." but i am uncertain in which specific cases that would be required.

Generally speaking, put a comma before and when it is followed by an independent clause containing a subject, regardless of the length of the sentence. Close the door and lock it. I closed the door, and then I locked it.
