Question

Which word in the sentence should be followed by a semicolon?

A large tree fell in the yard the electricity in the house is not working now.



A.
fell


B.
electricity


C.
yard

Answer 1

Is C correct

Answer 2

No, it isn't. Remember a semicolon (;) separates clauses. Putting it in plain English, try to see where you can make two sentences, and where you put the first period, is where the semicolon goes.

For example,

In "I have a big test tomorrow I can't go out tonight," you can put the semicolon after 'tomorrow' ("I have a big test tomorrow; I can't go out tonight") because it can also be written as "I have a big test tomorrow. I can't go out tonight."
