Is this sentence grammatically correct?
"I took the initiative to learn the skill and will take advanced courses to strength my profile."
I feel there should be a comma before the and, but the clause after the and doesn't seem like an independent clause.
If it were:
"I took the initiative to learn the skill, and I will take advanced courses to strength my profile." The addition of that new I makes the second part an independent clause and consequently, requires a comma now.
What about the former

DDANG What about the former No comma, and no comma needed. You are right: the second clause needs to be completed with a subject before it can rightfully take a comma. However, the word needed is strengthen .
