yo mr.alex… how’s everyone doing???
i have a question: why is there, at times, the word “and” after the comma??? [this is to question 8 of ex. 104] i don’t really quite get it… why do they put the comma there for when they know its gonna be a co-ordinating conjunction (in this case “and”) to continue and complete that sentence?
feel free to answer to 5a1!!!
regards, rey…XD

Dear Rey (and all who are listening in!),
I believe that the reason why there is a comma in front of the co-ordinating conjunction “and” is because the second main clause was thrown in as an afterthought… meaning that the writer did not intend to include it until halfway through the sentence
The comma causes a “jitter” in the reading, which may indicate an afterthought 
Hope this is useful to all
Final call for files to save my behind
