Semicolon

SEMI COLON IS OFTEN FOLLOWED BY A CONJUCTIVE ADVERB:

  • “HOWEVER”
  • “THEREFORE”
  • “IN ADDITION”


Wrong: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable, THEREFORE, we never see them apart

- THEREFORE needs a semi colon before it

Right: Andrew and Lisa are inseparable; THEREFORE, we never see them apart
