Punctuation

Is the punctuation correct or is the comma not needed:

The asbestos testing was completed, and the results were negative.

  

Top answer

Lisa Brinkmann The asbestos testing was completed, and the results were negative. Correct. You have two subjects (underlined), and the clauses are connected by a coordinating conjunction ( and ), so you need the comma.
