Thank you very much for the lesson. As always, your’s explanations of difficult topics of english grammar are both brilliant and simple. I was quite surprised though that you should use a semi-colon before a transitional expression and not just a regular comma. This is something I was unaware of all this time until now.
8/10 thanks for this encouraging lesson
I enjoyed the demonstration of the subtle use of semicolon. I am able to use it in French but I have never learned formal use. Thank you Rebecca.
A question please; should I capitalize the “f” of “french” as above?
Yes, in English, names of languages and nationalities must be capitalized. Glad you found the lesson useful! Once you start using the semi-colon in your writing, you will take your English to a higher level. All the best to you, beernaard.
Thank you Rebecca.

This lecture is what I exactly need. ❤️❤️❤️
May i just ask one favor. Would you please give us the complete list of the transition where I can use semi-colon.
You only stated however and therefore etc… How about ‘ although, even though, despite, in spite of, moreover and furthermore’ ?
