Grammar Warm-up: Semicolon Definition: You can use a semi-colon (;) to join two independent clauses. Joining two independent clauses this way implies that the two clauses are related and/or equal, or perhaps that one restates the other. (OWL at Purdue)
Examples:
“There are 1.1 million Spanish-surnamed registered voters in California; 85 percent are Democrats” (Chavez 5).
“Food that isn’t tainted by toxics; food that doesn’t result from plant mutations or chemicals” (Chavez 5).
Write-alike: Write three sentences that each have a semicolon in them. Your topic could be Homecoming.
