  4. Semicolons • NO: It was below zero; Mr. Lee had pizza for dinner. • YES: It was below zero; Mr. Lee thought he would freeze to death. • Why? Semicolons connect CLOSELY RELATED clauses.

  5. Semicolons Work with Conjunctive Adverbs • Kieva started her own club; therefore, she will stand out on her college application. • Brian’s legs were sore from working out yesterday; however, he still went for a short run after school. • Mr. Patel was Mr. Madonna’s best friend; indeed, sometimes Mr. Patel thought Mr. Madonna was his only friend.

  6. Semicolons DO NOT work with FANBOYS. • NEVER use a semicolon when combining two independent clauses with a FANBOY. • NO: The cheerleading team spent the few months week preparing for a cheering competition; and their hard work paid off. • Tips: • FANBOYS are short words, and a comma is shorter than a semicolon, so they take a comma. • Conjunctive adverbs are longer words, and semicolons are taller than commas, so they take a semicolon.
