Hello everyone,
Could you please help me with this confusion of mine?
I've read that the rule for all conjunctions is: if the conjunction precedes a main clause we use commas.
But it looks like these examples don't fallow that rule:
It was late but she couldn't sleep. - no comma there. Why is that?
She tried to stop but she hit the man.
Although she tried to stop, she hit the man.
Or I've made a mistake and confused the main clauses with subordinate clauses in these sentences?
Thank you in advance
