Should there be a comma before although
What's the 'rule' for a comma before 'although?'
If two main points are left out, your assignment will still pass, although full marks cannot be given.
I think the sentence sounds best with a comma but I don't think there should be one because 'although full marks cannot be given ' is a subordinate clause that comes after the main clause. If it was the other way around - Although full marks cannot be given, your assignment will still pass - than I would use a comma. Am I correct?
