You just use two commas–one before for example and one after. Now the part after for example is just a couple of prepositional phrases, not a main clause, so you don’t need a semicolon. I could ask Steve to bring it by, for example, before work or during his lunch hour. I might be able to get it back in time is a main clause, and so is I could ask Steve to bring it by before work, so I snuggle for example between a semicolon and a comma.
I might be able to get it back in time for example, I could ask Steve to bring it by before work. If you’re joining two main clauses, you use a semicolon and comma just like you did before, but if the part after the transition isn’t a main clause, then you use two commas. The same rules apply to transition words and phrases such as for example, in other words, and on the other hand, In both those sentences, the part after the adverb isn’t a main clause, so I just used a comma before and after the words moreover and however. I’ll wager, moreover, that the library won’t cut me any slack on the fine.įines are, however, an important tool the library uses to get people to return books on time. Here are some examples of sentences like that: This is where it gets tricky because sometimes conjunctive adverbs come in the middle of your sentence and aren’t followed by a main clause, and then you can just sandwich them between two commas. Or, in the same way you can fix a comma splice with a period, I could also separate the two main clauses with a period: I’m not finished reading it is a main clause, and I left it at Steve’s house is a main clause, so I need a semicolon before moreover and a comma after it. I’m not finished reading it moreover, I left it at Steve’s house. Imagine I’m worried about a library book that is due tomorrow:
