Grammar Question
Hi,
I apolgozie for the vagueness of my subject for this thread. Anyway, I am wondering if it is fine to place a comma after "and," even if it is a dependant clause.
For example, is the following correct:
Alisa brought the injured bird home, and fashioned a splint out of Polsickles sticks for its wing.
Thank you in advance, and I am curious as to how to grammaticaly ask a question like a previously did. I am wonderig if it would be:
'For example, is the following correct? :'

- This is fine.
- In fact, it's a good idea to pause after 'and' in this example, because of the length of the sentence.

Wouldn't "fashioned a splint out of Polsickles sticks for its wing" be a dependant clause, because on its own it would not be gramatically correct?
As well, would it be okay, if I wanted to, to say: "Alisa picked up the bird, and brought it hom
