  4. Punctuation: the semicolon;

  5. Punctuation: the SEMICOLON • Mark: ; • A semicolon is used to connect two closely related ideas that are each expressed as an independent clause. Copy the notes in bold

  6. Punctuation: the SEMICOLON • Rule #1: A semicolon separates two closely related sentences, instead of using a period. • Ex: Roses are my favorite flower; my sister prefers daisies. • Ex: A semicolon is not difficult to use; it’s quite easy. • The sentences must be about a similar topic (closely related)

  7. Punctuation: the SEMICOLON • Rule #2: A semicolon separates items in a series (a list) that already contain commas. • Ex: The most expensive cities in the world are Tokyo, Japan; New York, USA; and Paris, France. * Long sentences can be confusing if they contain too many commas and breaking them down into logical parts can make the sentence more logical.

  8. Punctuation: the SEMICOLON • Rule #3: A semicolon separates two sentences joined by conjunctive adverbs such as therefore, however, nevertheless or in fact. • Ex: Tadpoles are cute; however, soon they’ll become slimy frogs.
