Commas separate items in a series, even before the coordinating conjunction.Example:
The baby was happy, playful, and active.To pitch in a World Series game, to practice
medicine, and to run for mayor are all things I would like to do someday.
* Don’t use a comma when there are only two items in a list.
Commas: Rule#1
![Page 6: Chapter 14: Punctuation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681619a550346895dd14dc9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Use a comma to separate two or more equal adjectives that describe a noun.
Example: A white dwarf is a tiny, dense star.
A comma is used because both tiny and dense describe star
Commas: Rule#2

use commas before coordinating conjunctions in compound sentences.
Examples:They had been working very hard, but they didn’t
seem especially tired.
* watch out for compound verbs; they do not need a comma with the coordinating conjunction joining them.Example: Usually we study in the morning and play
basket ball in the afternoon.
Comma: rule#3
![Page 8: Chapter 14: Punctuation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681619a550346895dd14dc9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Use commas to set off nonessential phrases and clauses. Nonessential means that the information in the phrase or clause is not needed to understand the basic meaning of the sentence.
Example:Renee, thrilled by the applause, took a bow.The Wizard of Oz, which she saw again last
week, is Katie’s favorite movie.My older sister, Renee, will be at basketball
practice until 6:00 P.M.

up a gallon of milk?

A semicolon looks much like a combination of a period and a comma, and that is just what it is. A semicolon can separate thoughts much as a period does. A semicolon can also separate items within a sentence much as a comma does.
Semicolons;
This is a semicolon
![Page 16: Chapter 14: Punctuation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681619a550346895dd14dc9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Use semicolons between independent clauses if they are not joined by and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet.
Examples:Renee took my suitcase upstairs; she left her
own travel bag in the car.After school, Sky went to band practice; then
she studied at the library for an hour.
Semicolons: Rule #1
![Page 17: Chapter 14: Punctuation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681619a550346895dd14dc9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Use semicolons to link clauses only if the clauses are closely related in meaning.
Incorrect:Uncle Ray likes potatoes; Aunt Janie prefers the
beach.Correct:
Uncle Ray likes potatoes; Aunt Janie prefers the peas and carrots.
Semicolons: Rule #2
![Page 18: Chapter 14: Punctuation](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/5681619a550346895dd14dc9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Use a semicolon rather than a comma before a coordinating conjunction to join independent clauses that contain commas.
Confusing:I wrote Ann, Jenny, and May, and Jean notified
Jim, Sam, and Sue.Clear:
I wrote Ann, Jenny, and May; and Jean notified Jim, Sam, and Sue.
Semicolons: Rule #3

Semicolons are also used between items in a series when items contain commas.
Examples:They visited Phoenix, Arizona; Santa Fe, New
Mexico; and San Antonio, Texas.Mr. Schultz, my science teacher; Ms. O’Hara, my
English teacher; and Mrs. Gomez, my math teacher, attended the seventh-grade picnic.
Semicolons: Rule #4
