Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by semi coghlan's what truckers used to haul a load

00:08

of punctuation which answer best fills in the blanks Timothy

00:15

begged her to marry him She said yes instantly Oh

00:19

sometimes those drugs don't work All right Okay well here

00:23

the potential answers yourself All right well we're going to

00:27

start by just nixing choice d right No way we're

00:30

leaving this as is its total run on sentence How

00:32

do we know easy We've got two independent clauses stuck

00:36

together without the proper punctuation to help him get along

00:39

Sounds like there's just enough strive here for a reality

00:41

show Timothy begged her to marry him She said yes

00:44

way know that both of these clauses incense or independent

00:47

because they have their own subject and verb I don't

00:50

need no calls first klaus has timothy said in the

00:54

second test she said it's all he said she said

00:57

perfect for really just mary e even if i'm right

01:00

01:04

01:10

and independent closet together with a comma and you'll be

01:13

stuck with a run on option c uses a colon

01:17

Well this isn't totally wrong Colin can be used to

01:20

connect two independent clauses however collins also imply causation which

01:25

doesn't make surgery a sense like a would cause me

01:28

to happen After all begging someone to marry you doesn't

01:31

guarantee a yes well i have to go to the

01:34

bathroom Sometimes it yes doesn't even guarantee yes but that's

01:38

separate store him I have to go to the back

01:40

and a fixes this run on with a semi going

01:43

when we want to connect two independent clauses semi colons

01:46

often do the trick You also know how to play

01:48

dead but they find it kind of de creating Come

01:51

on boy play dead doesn't he know i'm above this
