    Study Notes

    Punctuation in Sentences

    • A sentence with two independent clauses can be joined using a comma and a conjunction (e.g., therefore, however).
    • The use of a comma after a conjunction (e.g., therefore) is optional, but it can improve sentence clarity.
    • A comma is not necessary when a conjunction is used to connect a dependent clause to an independent clause.
    • The word "however" is used to indicate contrast or surprise, while "therefore" indicates a logical consequence.

    Sentence Connection Rules

    • A logical transition is required to connect two sentences.
    • The transition can be placed at the beginning of the second sentence.
    • Alternatively, the transition can be placed in the middle of the second sentence.
    • Punctuation is crucial when connecting sentences.

    Sentence Connection Example

    • Carlos isn't a permanent resident.
    • Therefore, he doesn't qualify for the bursary.
    • (or) He doesn't qualify for the bursary because he isn't a permanent resident.

    Key Point to Remember

    • Sentence connection requires a logical transition and proper punctuation.
