Using coordination to combine sentences of equal importance
1. Consider using a comma and a coordinating conjunction. (See 32a.)
| , and | , but | , or | , nor |
| , for | , so | , yet |
2. Consider using a semicolon with a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase. (See 34b.)
| also | however | next |
| as a result | in addition | now |
| besides | in fact | now |
| consequently | in other words | otherwise |
| finally | in the first place | still |
| for example | meanwhile | then |
| for instance | moreover | therefore |
| furthermore | nevertheless | thus |
3. Consider using a semicolon alone. (See 34a.)
