The Conjunction 和(hé)
Unlike and, 和 cannot link two clauses or two sentences.
Ex) 我爸爸是医生,妈妈使老师。
The pause mark, or series comma, 、is often used to link two, three, or even more parallel words. When nouns or pronouns occur in a series, the series comma is used to separate them while the conjunction 和 connects the last two items.
Ex) 我有爸爸、妈妈和两个弟弟。
The series comma can also be used between two or more verbs or adjectives.
Ex) 我常常打球、跳舞、看书。
