Digital SAT Reading & Writing Lesson #3: Semicolons

Are you preparing for the new Digital SAT? In this video, I cover everything you need to know about semicolons. Though rarely used in daily life, they're one of the most important punctuations on the test, and once you master the two usages covered, you should be able to tackle questions involving them with ease.

If you are having trouble distinguishing between sentences and fragments, this handout may be helpful:

at 5.40 you say that we should separate non essential parts by using commas, How is it a non essential part? it gives information for what is to come next.Please explain.and also if i read the sentence without the words inside the commas it doesn't make sense. .(there will be 3 commas which part are u saying is non essential?)
