Sometimes I run into this kind of long sentence which is directly connected without any connecting words ( conjunction or relatives). This is not what I learned from school, I think, and can't find out any explanation in the grammar books. Could you tell me about how this bellow sentence was structured grammatically?
"And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there."
leobroun"And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him that it was as if he had only just left the room and (as if) the ring of his voice were still there."

Because grammar books are not supposed to teach bad English.

The initial word "and" is a coordinating conjunction. It links the sentence to a previous one.
Note also that the clause it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there is a subordinate clause where the conjunction "that" is optionally omitted, as indicated.
