In which o the following situations is it not appropriate to use a comma?
It is not appropriate to use a comma before a coordinating conjunction if the sentence does not contain two independent clauses. For example, "I enjoy coffee but not tea" does not require a comma before "but" because it is a simple sentence, not two independent clauses.
Do you have to use a comma before and?
That depends on how you are using the word. It isn't always necessary, but if the word "and" is joining two independent clauses (independent clauses are basically sentences that can stand on their own), then you definitely need a comma before the word and, or any coordinating conjunction. Examples: Apples and oranges may be different, but they are both delicious. I like to eat apples, and I love orange juice. In the first example, a comma is not necessary before the word and because it is just joining two words together. In the second, the comma is necessary because the word and is joining two sentences together.
A Subordinating conjunction is a word that joins two independent clauses?
Actually, a subordinating conjunction is a word that joins a dependent clause to an independent clause. It shows the relationship between the two clauses and makes the dependent clause subordinate to the independent clause.
Where does the comma go when using the word but?
It goes before. Like "I was going to, but I decided not to."
