Super Easy Mini Grammar Lesson

Posted by Silver in Uncategorized

Victory! I finally know what semi-colons, colons, and clauses! This, is a semi-colon —-> ;

It is used when you want to put two things together that COULD be separate sentences, but you want them to be the SAME sentence. For example: I like pink shirts; my brother likes blue shirts. Super simple, but effective. The two sentences on either side of the semi-colon are called CLAUSES. A colon is easier to explain. A colon is this —–> : and its job is to introduce things like lists. For example:

You will need: a eggs, milk, flower, baking soda, etc.

Grammar is way harder then it needs to be. Why bother making things so complicated when you can say things simply? One question I would REALLY like answered is who invented grammar and why? I can understand general rules, but not super specific rules that seemingly do nothing to promote the actual quality of writing. *Sigh* Oh well.
