Default Re: A Doubt About Compound Sentences...

That's what I thought.

However, in the first sentence, when many verbs refer to the same subject, the comma can be used. It's a serial comma.

Karen enters the house, walks to the family room, sits, and starts watching TV.

Only the last action (verb) must be linked with "and"

Am I right?

Because you stated: "You need it whenever you connect two or more things to the same subject".

Karen enters the house and walks to the family room and sits and starts watching TV
I don't think that would be right, is it?
