The Comma ( , )The Comma ( , )

The comma is used for:

1. Separating consecutive word in a paragraph. Example: Mother buys vegetables, fish, and meat.

2. Give An expression for a suppression statement. Example: Oh my God, how dirty are your clothes!

3. Behind the words in a sentence relation. Example: So, are you not coming with us?

4. Give comparison for a statement. Example: That house is big, but not beautiful.

The Semicolon (;)The Semicolon (;)The primary use of the semicolon is to separate two very closely related ideas, which have been combined into a single sentence. Sentences 1 and 2 in the example below can be combined using a semicolon from sentence 3.

Examples:

1. She stood at the edge, deciding her course of action; she changed her mind and walked home.

2. I went to the basketball court; I was told it was closed for cleaning.

3. Everyone knows he is guilty of committing the crime; of course, it will never be proven.

The Colon ( : )The Colon ( : )

2.Her goal – did she send you the memo? – was to raise money for a new child care center
