​ A comma is normally placed before a coordinating conjunction. At other times, the comma may be omitted if the independent clauses are short.

​

Examples:

  Take it or leave it.

  Win or lose.

  Come in and relax.

By Herminia Coroza

  At times, a semicolon is used in place of the coordinating conjunction to connect two independent clauses that are related to each other.

​

​Examples:

  1. Rolly is going on a field; Joselito is joining a holiday tour.

  2. Rolly’s trip is educational; Joselito’s tour is for pleasure.
