Writing Workshop

Comma Splice Comma splice: use of a comma to join two independent clauses Ex: She went home that night, she just wanted to be alone. Fix it: Add a conjunction Use a semicolon Separate the sentences into two Ex: She went home that night, for she just wanted to be alone.

Comma Splices A lot happened in my first year of high school, I have to say it was all a lesson learned on who you can and cannot trust. I always get sidetracked by any small noise, this particular noise happened to be the sound of one of the meanest girls in sixth grade. I always loved making my parents proud, they were my mentors so I had to show them what I could do.

When to use a semicolon… To join two sentences. Ex: Jimmy took my suitcase upstairs. He left his own bag in the car. Jimmy took my suitcase upstairs; he left his own bag in the car. When a compound sentence is littered with commas. Ex: I wrote to Ann, Ramona, and Mai, and Jean wrote to Charles, Latoya, and Sue. I wrote to Ann, Ramona, and Mai; Jean wrote to Charles, Latoya, and Sue.

Semicolon (cont.) In lists, use semicolons to join items that already contain commas. Ex: They visited Phoenix, Arizona; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and San Antonio, Texas. Ex: Mr. Schultz, my science teacher; Ms. O’Hara, my English teacher; Mrs. Gomez, my math teacher; and Mr. Jones, my social studies teacher, attended the seventh-grade picnic. DO NOT use semicolons to join an independent clause with a dependent clause or phrase. Ex: I really wanted to go home; but couldn’t. Ex: As if she read his mind; he walked to the door.

Semicolons The contestants came from Atlanta, Georgia Memphis, Tennessee and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I got all dressed up for the party, however, my best friend wore jeans. German is a difficult language to master, however, if you plan to be a scientist, you may want to study this language. The roof was leaking, and the walls were sagging, therefore, the Smiths hired a contractor to repair the house. Apples are usually sold by the pound oranges are sold by the dozen.
