Please make more grammar videos. I watched a few videos to clear up my confusion on this subject. Your visual aid and how quickly you got to the point was the most helpful and easy to digest. Thank you!

Why don’t they make it this easy in school?

[hopepletting]

Thank you!!! I knew not to use a comma splice, but didn’t necessarily understand what to replace the comma with. I’m a high school sophomore and I will be taking the SAT’s next year. Thanks for your help!!!

Through my 14 years in the school system I have never had someone have me actually understand semicolons until now

How do I replace the "to be"/"be" verbs with strong verbs in the following
paragraph?

The British ocean liner Titanic was a large ship that thought to be unsinkable.
The Titanic made its first in 1912. It was scheduled to sail from England to New
York The ship was about 1, 600 miles from New York when it collided with an iceberg
in the North Atlantic. This collision caused a gash 300 feet long in the ship's hull.
It took two hours and forty minutes for the Titanic to sink. The worst part was that
there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. Tragically, about 1, 400 people died
that night. Due to many lives lost, the sinking of the Titanic is considered to be the
deadliest peacetime, maritime disaster in modern history. The Titanic has undoubtedly
become one of the most famous ships in history. Their memory is kept alive by numerous
books, folk songs, movies, exhibits, and memorials.

Wow, my entire life I thought a semicolon was a longer pause than a colon.

[mansiostwal]

amazing, cant believe it's so simple.

[crunchybuns]

I love the positive energy coming from this teacher

[andiishere]

(, ) A comma seperates a incomplete clause from a complete clause or vise vera

( ; ) A semicolon seperates two complete clauses; it seperates two related ideas that aren't seperate enough to be their own sentence.

Incomplete clause fails the sanity test
Complete clause passes the sanity test

I really wish my teachers were this fun.
the hell bent on talking about cheese is really funny!

[khalifaibrahim]

Thank you, this will help my very much for my test tomorrow

Great video, does the "insanity" test work all the time for commas or are there certain times it doesn't?
