Use commas and conjunctions, but dont make it too long.
Hm, not sure what you mean. There are no "subordinate" clauses, perhaps you mean a subordinating conjunction? If you do mean a conjunction, then maybe you mean a coordinating conjunction, because coordinating conjunctions work with commas to make a compound sentence. If you do mean that, then here are some examples: I baked a cake, and she baked a pie. Julie gave a present to Mike, but John did not. I had to go to school, so George had to wait to play his game.
A comma is not required before the word "because" when it is used in the middle of a sentence for a standard causal relationship. However, if "because" is used at the beginning of a sentence to introduce the reason, a comma is usually used after it.
There are several functions for commas. Series - "apples, Oranges, and bananas" Coordinate adjectives - "brilliant, bright diamond" Compound sentences (used with coordinating conjunctions) - "I told him that, and I dismissed him." Introductory phrases - "During the 1800s, a bunch of stuff happened." Appositive phrases - "This user, TheGrammarian, is totally awesome."

No. Conjunctions are words like "but" "and" and "or". Conjunctions are used to connect sentences.Example: My dog is brown. My dog is four years old.My dog is brown and he is four years old.In this sentence 'and' is the conjunction.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Please note: Commas are not needed before conjunctions.
Hyposterclobic compound sentence.
This is a compound sentence. The sentence consists of two independent clauses. "Her brother was a teacher" is one independent clause. "Her sister was a psychiatrist" is another independent clause. However, they need to be connected by a COMMA and a coordinating conjunction. The sentence should be written, "Her brother was a teacher, and her sister was a psychiatrist." When joining two very short clauses like these, commas are often omitted by Standard English users, but to avoid confusion the comma should be used.A compound sentence is made up of two or more simple sentences joined by a conjunction.Example : (2 simple) The dragon roared at the guests. It was just a very elaborate machineExample : (1 compund) The dragon roared at the guests, but it was just a very elaborate machine.A compound sentence is a sentence containing two or more simple sentences using conjunctions such as and or but.
It is not. Polysyndeton is defined as instances in which several conjunctions are repeated, as in the sentence "he ran and jumped and laughed and played." Polysyndeton especially refers to instances in which these conjunctions could be replaced with commas, and make for an easier reading experience. The phrase "deeper harder faster" does not include any conjunctions, and is then not an example of polysyndeton.
Yes they do. Example: Sam ran to the car, but Sally called shotgun first.
The first comma in a sentence is typically used after an introductory phrase or clause to separate it from the main part of the sentence. It helps to add clarity and improve readability by signaling the beginning of the main idea.
Yes, commas can be used in sentences within quotations to separate phrases or items in a list. For example: She said, "I will meet you at the park, bring some snacks, and we can have a picnic."
