Two sentences written as one sentence and usually separated by a comma?
In formal writing a comma is not to be used two join two independent clauses. If comma is used between two sentences consisting of independent clauses it is known as comma splice. Two sentences formed by independent clauses should always be joined by a co-ordinate conjunction or a short punctuation mark such as semicolon if the sentences are closely related.
Where does comma go when joining two complete sentences before or after the conjuction?
When you join two sentences with a comma and a conjunction, the comma follows the last word in the 1st sentence and is followed by the conjuntion. For example "I am short, and you are tall." Just make sure that the second sentence has a subject with its verb, or it won't need the comma. Ex. "I'm fat and going to lose weight" (no comma because there's only one suject) vs. "I'm fat, and I'm going to lose weight" (yes comma because there's a second subject even if it's restated.)
When do you place a comma before the word 'and' in a sentence?
There are two situations in which I would use a comma before the word "and." 1) When three or more things are mentioned in a series: apples, bananas, and oranges. This is called the series comma. It is used in American style more often than in UK style. But it is also correct to omit the series comma in US style. 2) In a compound sentence, which is two complete sentences joined by "and" (or another conjunction, such as "but" or "or"): I went to visit my parents, and they were very happy to see me. If the two sentences that make up the compound sentence are short and closely connected, the comma can be left out: Stand up and state your name.

Should you use a comma after and?
Use a comma + a little conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so) to connect two independent clauses, as in "He hit the ball well, but he ran toward third base."Contending that the coordinating conjunction is adequate separation, some writers will leave out the comma in a sentence with short, balanced independent clauses (such as we see in the example just given). If there is ever any doubt, however, use the comma, as it is always correct in this situation.
