Hi,

Thanks for your reply. But I am still not very clear about it. As I understand that for two ICs, definitely we need to have comma and FANBOYS to connect them. However, it is not necessary if one is IC and e other one is DC. Just want to confirm that comma plus FANBOYS are not indicator of two ICS. Thanks

Ok, your queries are very generic.

Let me explain the sentence structure.

IC, DC -> correct
DC, IC -> Correct

FANBOYS can join independent clauses, modifiers, noun or noun phrases. Now, I expect some specific examples. As far as I know, there are multiple exceptions to some specific rules and we need to deal with case to case basis.

If you have a specific doubt, we can discuss.

Yes, but the second is is just redundant.
