Is it ever grammatically correct to place a comma after the word 'and' when the 'and' is separating two main clauses

Use commas to separate words and word groups in a simple series of three or more items.

Example: My estate goes to my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and nephew.

Note: When the last comma in a series comes before and or or (after daughter-in-law in the above example), it is known as the Oxford comma. Most newspapers and magazines drop the Oxford comma in a simple series, apparently feeling it's unnecessary. However, omission of the Oxford comma can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.

Example: We had coffee, cheese and crackers and grapes.

Adding a comma after crackers makes it clear that cheese and crackers represents one dish. In cases like this, clarity demands the Oxford comma.

We had coffee, cheese and crackers, and grapes.

Fiction and nonfiction books generally prefer the Oxford comma. Writers must decide Oxford or no Oxford and not switch back and forth, except when omitting the Oxford comma could cause confusion as in the cheese and crackers example.

Hope this helped! :)

Andrej [43]

The proposal that the committee should choose is proposal 2.

From the information given, it should be noted that Proposal 2 would generate more money for the library.

A great way to make money for the library would be holding a car wash. Since the softball team at the school raised over $400 at their car wash last year, this is an avenue to raise more money. This will be important in getting the needed funds and achieving the aim.
