PUNCTUATION HANDBOOK
Hey: To save paper, we will no longer pass out
“punctuation mark explanation sheets.” You will

and then transfer them into your Punctuation
Handbook when you are ready to make the page
for that mark.

When you take notes, copy the rule, and come up with an
example of your own. You can use that in your handbook!
Rule #1: Conjunctive adverbs join two
clauses.
 Examples:
 I enjoy classical; however, I prefer jazz.
 I hurt myself dancing; nevertheless, I decided to
go on the hike.

NOTES: CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS

Rule #2: Conjunctive adverbs can be used
within a sentence to provide emphasis.
Examples:
 The new building will, furthermore, provide
storage facilities.
 I was up all night grading papers, and therefore
feel quite tired.

Rule #3: When connecting
two clauses, use a semicolon
before, and a comma after
the conjunctive adverb.
Examples:
Susan is bilingual; consequently,
she has more job opportunities
than others.
Jake won’t see the movie because
he doesn’t like dramas; besides,
he thinks it’s a “chick flick.”
