Semicolons: Using Conjunctive Adverbs #3

Complete this worksheet about using semicolons and conjunctive adverbs; afterward, you’ll be a grammar master! In each question, students are presented with two short, related sentences. Learners must use a semicolon and a conjunctive adverb from the word bank to combine the two sentences into one. The first one has been completed as an example.

Created for middle-school writers, this worksheet will provide practice combining sentences with semicolons and conjunctive adverbs.
