Coordinating Conjunctions Please Help
Are these sentences punctuated properly?
" I haven't been able to spend a lot of time working on the project, but I really just wanted to let you know that I am still working and I am still trying to finish up what I can do before asking my friend for help."
Could I do something like this:
"If he does not remember, and she does not know, then I do not want to go. "
Or, is this prefered: "If he does not remember and she does not know, then I do not want to go."
Does it matter if the structure is not as parallel?
Ex. "If he does not remember lounging out, and she sleeps without eating dinner, I do not want to go to the restaurant."
thank you in advance
