Any grammar questions?

It's the start of a new term for the online university for which I teach. As always, I have a slew of new students, some of whom haven't written a formal essay in some time.

It is these students whom I ask: Do you have any grammar questions? In the several years I've been maintaining this blog, I think I've answered the most pressing, but please feel free to send me an email if you'd like to see more topics.

To those new students this term: I'm looking forward to working with you and helping you to find that writing is painless!

Keep pen to paper!
Prof. Rinehart

  3. According to rules, a comma should be followed by FANBOYS. However, sometimes I notice that comma is not used before FANBOYS. Could you please help me to know why sometimes comma is not used?

    Please look at the following sentence: https://www.thedailystar.net/politics/gazipur-city-corporation-polls-2018-voting-begin-bangladesh-bd-1595608

    Also, general holiday has been announced for today in the city corporation area and all factories and industries, including garments, in the area will remain closed on the day.

    Here,
    1st independent clause: Also, general holiday has been announced for today in the city corporation area.
    2nd independent clause: all factories and industries, including garments, in the area will remain closed on the day.

    These independents clauses are joined by AND, but there is no comma. Is this right?

    A win will keep their hopes alive but whether or not they will progress to the round of sixteen depends on the result of the night's other Group D encounter between Croatia and Iceland.

    “There is no other alternative and I'm sure that it is going to happen tomorrow. I'm convinced that you will see the best version of Argentina tomorrow,” said the under-fire coach.

    I don't feel or consume that virtual world news but some are effect by those comments.

    There is no comma before appropriate FANBOYS.
