Grammar
Punctuation
Hello,
I am a bilingual student in middle school and I wonder if someone can help me punctuate this:
Needless to say the proprietor disagreed and that is why we are here in court today.
Would I put a comma after disagreed?
Thank you

The first sentence, by the same principle, should have a comma after "school".
"He sings and dances", but "He sings, and he dances", or "He sings, and she dances", or "He sings, and that's a good thing."
