PUNCTUATION REVIEW For each question, identify if it is true of false. If it is false, make the statement correct

Question #4 A compound sentence connects two complete sentences together with only a coordinating conjunction.

Question #5 A complex sentence includes a dependent and independent clause connected with a comma.

Question #6 When an AWUBIS (subordinating conjunction) word is in the middle of a sentence, you include a comma.

Question #7 When a sentence begins with a prepositional phrase, a coordinating conjunction must follow.

Question # 8 A semi-colon (;) can connect two independent sentences together.

Question #9 When using a transition word (ex however) to combine two complete sentences, you don’t need any punctuation.
