Hi,
I learned from previous postings and some grammar books that two independent clauses with the same subject could be combined using "and", and comma is not necessary before the coordinating conjunction "and".
I am given the following sentence example when I look up the word 'pliant' in a dictionary: The management has adopted a more pliant position, and has agreed to listen to the staff's requests.
In the above example, is it grammatically correct to place a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' which splits the second verb 'has agreed' from the main subject?
Thanks for all the replies!
