Question

I got out a bowl and read the recipe and then I started adding ingredients. After which word should a comma be placed? bowl then recipe

Answer 1

There is only one 'and' as it indicates a sequence of actions.You don't have to repeat the subject 'I' .The first one is valid for all the other actions as it's the same person doing them.
