A comma is correctly placed before a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or) when joining two independent clauses.

Answer: It replaces or refers to a noun
A pronoun takes the place of a noun to avoid repetition, such as using 'he' instead of repeating a person's name.
Which sentence demonstrates correct capitalization?
Answer: My favorite subject is English.
Only the first word of a sentence and proper nouns (like the name of a specific language, English) are capitalized.
Identify the adjective in the following sentence: 'The tall student won the science competition.'
Answer: Tall
'Tall' is an adjective because it modifies and describes the noun 'student.'
Which sentence contains a spelling error?
Answer: He beleives that hard work pays off.
'Beleives' is misspelled; the correct spelling is 'believes,' following the 'i before e except after c' pattern.
What type of sentence is this: 'Please close the door.'?
Answer: Imperative
An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request, and the subject 'you' is implied rather than stated.
