Question

Does this sentence need a semi-colon?

If you go to the drug store, get me some toothpaste, hair gel, and aspirin.

Answer 1

If you go to the drug store get me some toothpaste, hair gel and aspirin.

So no.

Answer 2

Unless you're supposed to be using an oxford comma, in that case you would keep the comma before the and.

Answer 3

i agree with @mooshiex you dont need a semi-colon unless you are comparing two things in a sentence.. so what you've written is great, keep it that way :)

Answer 4

If you couldn't put a period there, then don't put a semicolon there. Unless, that is, you are giving a list and each item on the list is very long or gramatically complex; in that case, you can use semicolons instead of commas. But I don't think that's a problem here.

Answer 5

I don't think you can use more than one semi-colon in a sentence, that would be incorrect.
