Hello, I was chatting in a Discord server when someone wrote this sentence:
"The fact you had been taught it doesn't mean you had been learning it"
"It" in both cases refers to "Chinese" as we were talking about languages.
Someone tried to correct that sentence and said that it should have a comma after the first "it" for the sentence to be grammatically correct. That is, "The fact you had been taught it, doesn't mean you had been learning it"
I think that the original sentence is correct as it is, without the comma, but I would like to hear your opinions on this and why you think it's correct/incorrect.
Thank you for your time
