no capital after a commar unless a name or place? is that right. I don't use ; so wouldnt really be sure what it's for.

; is a semi-colon and it's used to separate two parts of a sentence,(clauses) sometimes used instead of a full stop.

You don't use a capital after a comma. Only after full stops, exclamation marks and question marks

You do not use capitals after using a comma, unless the following word always begins naturally with a capital and the semi-colon -;- is used to separate two different thoughts in the same sentence. You do not capitalise after the -;- either.

This is more fun than it was at school isn't it??

Yes Miss..!!!

 

[Anna Lee]

; is a semi-colon and it's used to separate two parts of a sentence,(clauses) sometimes used instead of a full stop.

But then why couldn't you just use a full stop instead and start another thought in a new sentence..?

How do we determine when to use a full stop or a semi-colon? have you an example that we can learn from Miss..?

 

[Tsia]

Miss.. Can I go to the toilet? *sticks hand in the air*

Lmao.. Yes this is fun. There is something that has bugged me and actually caused a row with me and partner today.

I was taught to use alot as one word.. yet partner says it should be a lot. and some people type it as allot which I see as definately spelt wrong.

If you could clear that up for me personally 'connoiseur' that would be most kind. :hug:

 

[~Emmsybabes~]

Ha ha the reason I didnt do capital 'E' was because it's not capital in your user name. :lol:

Ooh sugar lumps yeah :green: my apologies hahaha (thought I was being dead clever then too )

I think it is "a lot", two words.
As far as I know, we don't say "alittle" :wink2:
Let me check my dictionary, I always argue the same, that it's two words.
I want to be sure before I go plum crazy.

brb lol

 

[Lellipop]

My written english is not the best and I tend to type as I would say it :irked: But hey I have been here long enough for you to be use to my writing.

I used to spell it 'alot' and wondered why it always came up wrong in the spell check. Simple...because I'd spelt it wrong!

Like Victoria said, it should be two words.

Ok, totally enjoying the giggles here!!


Here's another English lesson/riddle:

What word in the dictionary, features all of the vowels of the alphabet, including the letter 'Y', in their correct order?

I guessed this right and freaked out my teacher who had apparently stumped all of this students, and never had a student give the correct answer.

Put your thinking caps on.
