the students are focusing on reading, science, and bath
• Use a comma to separate day and year in a date. EX: she is taking
the TEAS on November 6, 2018
• Use a comma when combining two complete sentences (knows
as independent clauses) before FANBOYS EX: we went to the
football game, and our team won
FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (independent clause)
3 major times to use a semi colon:
• Use a semi colon to separate two complete sentences (in place of
a fanboys)
