| Dear Netters! When you write a compound sentence with the subordinate clause of time, condition, concession, use a comma if the subordinate clause precedes the main clause. Look at the example: - When I look out of the window I see only primeval nature. Nothing more. I'm happy and healthy.There is a punctuation mistake in the sentence. Put a comma after the word 'window'. - When I look out of the window, I see only primeval nature. Nothing more. I'm happy and healthy.But, don't separate the main clause from the subordinate one if it is the first in the sentence. - I see only primeval nature when I look out of the window. Nothing more. I'm happy and healthy. So, the sentence below lack a comma after the subordinate clause of time: 'While watching reality shows you can learn much about different people and their behaviour.'
