Hi everyone,

I am interested in finding out if the sentence is correct and if I am correct in my analysis. If not, I would like to know where I went wrong.

Here is the sentence:
Once I have completed implementing the changes, I will contact you, and we will schedule a remote session for you to see the finished product.

I have broken it down below:

Dependent clause: Once I have completed implementing the changes
Independent clause: I will contact you.
Coordinating conjunction: , and
Independent clause: We will schedule a remote session for you to see the finished product.
Complex sentence: Once I have completed implementing the changes, I will contact you.
Compound sentence: I will contact you, and we will schedule a remote session for you to see the finished product.
Compound Complex sentence: Once I have completed implementing the changes, I will contact you, and we will schedule a remote session for you to see the finished product.

@GrammarianasaurusRex,

Rex I am astounded at your diligence and that of other ESL hereabout

Somewhat OT but I'd have writ:

Once I have implemented the changes I will contact you to schedule a remote session so you can see the finished product

@dalehileman,

Thanks dalehileman,

I am curious about your sentence:
Once I have implemented the changes I will contact you to schedule a remote session so you can see the finished product.

If I break it down, is it is something like this, no?

Dependent clause: Once I have implemented the changes
Independent clause: I will contact you to schedule a remote session.
Coordinating conjunction: so
Independent clause: You can see the finished product.

Question:
Is it necessary to have a comma between the dependent clause and the independent clause in this context?
Example: "changes, I" Or is it optional?

Question:
Is it necessary to have a comma before the coordinating conjunction "so" that is dividing the two independent clauses?
Example: "session, so you can"

@GrammarianasaurusRex,

Rex your breakdown seems okay but I'm no grammarian

Commas are generally overused
