  2. Punctuation • “A simple punctuation rule applies to nearly all the compound pairs of words, phrases, and clauses that occur within the sentence: We use no comma with the conjunction” Kolln 223. • The example sentences in your book, on page 223, use and, either – or, and both –and. • Also note that “when conjunctions connect all the elements, we use no commas” Kolln 224. • The baby giggled and cried and pulled her mother’s hair. • Can you think of any exceptions to the punctuation rule? (Hint: Look on page 224.) Coordination within the sentence

  3. The conjunction but. • He left early this morning, but he should be back tomorrow. • To give special emphasis to the second element in a coordinated pair. • The new car is too small, and ugly. • Use commas with a series of three or more elements. • That couple’s new favorite activities are parenting, eating, and sleeping. The exceptions to the punctuation rule

  4. There are “three methods of joining independent clauses to produce compound sentences: • using coordinating conjunctions (and, or, but); • using the semicolon; • and, for limited situations, using the colon” (Kolln 229). Coordinating complete sentences

  5. “Between the sentences in a compound sentence we do use a comma with the conjunction… • example: The lights turned off, and the moviegoers settled in their seats. • When the clauses of a compound sentence are quite short and closely connected, however, we sometimes omit the comma” (Kolln 230). • example: She talked and I listened. Internal coordinate Construction rule

  6. “When a semicolon connects two coordinate clauses, the conjunction can be omitted” (Kolln 230). • example: The lights turned off; the moviegoers settled in their seats. Using the semicolon pages 230 - 231

  7. “The colon makes an announcement of sorts: It means ‘namely’… It promises to complete the idea set up in the first clause” (Kolln 231, 232). • We named the new animals: The Queen, Baby, and Rock. • Your mother-in-law called: She’s staying for a week. Using the colonpages 231 - 232
