Punctuation Semi-colons; use them wisely.

Lesson Objective To know the three rules of semi-colons and use them effectively in your writing. Thinking skill: Think creatively!

What is a semicolon? A semicolon is a punctuation mark that is used to separate certain pieces of information in a sentence.

Rule Number 1 To separate two independent clauses that share the same theme. E.g. I went to see a movie with friends this week; we went to see the film for Sarah’s birthday. You may ask; why not just put the two clauses as separate sentences, or use a conjunction? You could do that, but the semicolon shows that they are related.

Rule Number 2 2. To separate two independent clauses of the same theme that have been linked by a connective. E.g. I really wanted to grow up and study Physics; however, I found I was better at Chemistry. Why not just use a comma? They are each independent clauses, so you would have to use two commas, which would be incorrect.

Rule Number 3 3. To separate items in a list when each item has separate features. E.g. I went to the store and I needed to buy some crispy, chicken strips; a bunch of red, ripe apples; and some cold, semi-skimmed milk. Why not separate each of the items with commas only? This would be confusing as the adjectives are already separated with commas.

Activity 1: Punctuate Write the following sentences in your book, adding in semicolons where they are needed. 1. I wanted to go get my hair cut it was clear that my hair was way too long. 2.
