Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by conjunctions making academic papers convoluted

00:10

and unreadable since the dawn of grammar All right well

00:12

first read the sense below from job application letter All

00:18

right now click on the drop down menu and choose

00:20

the option that correctly completes the sentence All right the

00:22

options are today and i believe in some form all

00:26

right people listen up clauses are tricky things For example

00:30

just how does santa claus get down the chimneys kind

00:33

of fat all right but we're not talking about sprightly

00:36

christmas carols here A grammatical klaus is a group of

00:39

ward's containing a subject and verb just that that makes

00:43

it a clause on their own But you can also

00:46

join multiple independent clauses together like this clause in that

00:49

clause was a conjunction such a cz and but if

00:53

you do that you're going to need to use a

00:55

comma in this sentence we've got two independent clauses who

00:59

sets the subject's two sets of herbs so we're going

01:02

to need that helpful comma to join him which means

01:04

that answer a which is tragically comma free is not

01:08

correct Now colin serve a lot of purposes some of

01:12

which we won't talk about here but in a sentence

01:15

that coleman is used to show that a second clause

01:17

explains or enumerates upon the first which isn't happening Here

01:22

and a semi colon is used to join two independent

01:25

clauses when there's no conjunction But there is a conjunction

01:29

in this ends and that means we're not using it

01:33

Sorry semi colon will have to find something else for

01:34

you to do So Answer b is correct because it

01:36

uses a comma followed by a conjunction to join the

01:39

two independent clauses correctly Next time we'll talk about dependent

01:43

clauses That's What santa becomes when he runs out his 00:01:45.877 --> [endTime] toy money Just ask me
