Punctuation
Can anyone help me with the usage of proper punctuation in my sentnce?
The report wasn't clear, and incomprehensible.
The report easnt clear. And inconprehensible.
Top answer
If something is incomprehensible, it is obviously also unclear, so there is no point in saying both. A further difficulty is that we normally speak in terms of unclear/ incomprehensible , or in terms of not clear / not comprehensible . eg The report was unclear and incomprehensible.
