If the subordinate clause precedes the main clause, then the comma is mandatory. Likewise, even if "then" is implied, the comma is mandatory. That said, a comma separating the subordinate and main clause is not mandatory if the subordinate clause follows the main clause. /\ no comma If you need to know, on which CD/DVD to find a specific package, visit... /\ /\ no comma, because / "on which...package" mandatory comma =/ is a propositional for the "if...package" phrase subordinate clause Are prepositional phrases enclosed by commas in German grammar?
