use a comma?
Hi, Would you use a comma here? I think I learned that if two clauses have their own subject and verb, we should use a comma before a conjunction unless the length of clauses is very short. The problem is the rule seems to say such but uses in the real writing world seem not follow the rule often (do not seem to follow - better or correct?).
Sometimes they were just put on the corner of the table and they often fell off.
Also, a side question:
When you use the word 'preach', can we not use the preposition 'to' when referring to a place or people?
He preached nationals the gospel.
He preached to nationals the gospel.
He preached Korea the word of God.
He preached to Korea the word of God.
Sometimes they were just put on the corner of the table and they often fell off.
