Conjunction rules 'and' and dependent clauses.

I just got to town so tired.

Is this sentence correct ? Why/why not apposed from the abruptness.

How would you reflect that feeling in spoken English. You know: Soooo tired.




I'll take it back, see what they say.


Is this sentence accurate with the comma? Is the 'and' conjunction optional as 'see what they say' is dependent ?

So you've got a few options here. To coordinate two independent clauses, you would need the sentence to look like one of these: 1. I just got to town, so I'm tired.

1. I just got to town, so I'm tired.

2. I just got to town, and I'm so tired.

Notice that there is an independent clause (a fully functional, grammatical sentence) on each side of the comma. In other words...

1. I just got to town. I'm tired. (
