hello, i am new here. Thank you for having this forum. I have been reading several textbooks recently,and i noticed that some sentences are not using comma,not like what i thought it should be. Here is my confusion:
"As the gas mixture passes through the column the various component gases are slowed down accordingly to their solubility".
i am confuse. Don't we need to add comma after word "the collumn" since it is followed by an independent clause ("the various component...")?
please help..thank you
regards,Joe
why don't we use comma after this sentence?

Re: why don't we use comma after this sentence?
Not strictly a grammar point, but... yes, a comma would be normal in that sentence-position.
