Abou conjunctions I found some sentences with conjunctions like "when" "and" which are divided off by comma as following: "..., when,...". "..., and,...". I wan to ask what grammatical function it is ? Are they equal to these phrases " at that time" and " at the same time". Can all the conjunctions be divided off by coma? Thanks a lot.Eg. As it is, though, I can not deny that when April comes I find myself going out to learn on the fence and look at that miserable plot of land,... Eg. So I thought I would spend the night in Central Park , and, having stuffed my small rucksack with a sleeping bag, I arrived one heavy muggy Friday to do just that : ..." lean" for"learn". Sorry for my spelling mistake.Or maybe they work as verbs so that these questions I asked seem to be settled? But I look " and " up in the dictionary which just function as a conjunction. You know, it is really confusing me.

After reading " spring sowing" I have read an article named" spring sowing". It talks about one day of Martin and Mary, a newly-married couple. It inspires me a lot. To us, the young generation are living a happier life than ever before. We do not need to till, to plant, to work under the glaring sun. However, we lost many things --- the simple life, the joy of working hard, the responsibility for each other. What we are pursuing is a more complicated material world. The young prefer doing easy work and expect to get more money without paying too much. In a marriage, each of them might be more selfish, and not considerate to each other. I am wondering, are we really happy now? What are we living for? Sometimes, we really need to learn from Martin an Mary,from the past generation. Of course, maybe I am not saying the whole of it. All I need to do is being a good myself. Ok, that's all for today. Thanks for your reading.
