Your example will not work; you should have written:

SELECT foo.id from foo,fee where foo.id=fee.id

With inner join, this would be

SELECT foo.id FROM foo
INNER JOIN fee on foo.id=fee.id

Joining a third table would look like

SELECT foo.id FROM foo
INNER JOIN fee ON foo.id=fee.id
INNER JOIN bar ON bar.id=foo.id
