THE COMPOUND SENTENCE

To separate coordinate clauses the following rules on the use of stops are observed.

§ 7. Coordinate clauses joined asyndetically are always separated by a stop.

The most usual stop is the semicolon.

Arthur looked at his watch; it was nine o’clock. (Voynich)

The policeman took no notice of them; his feet were planted apart on the strip

of crimson carpet stretched across the pavement; his face, under the helmet,

wore the same stolid, watching look as theirs. (Galsworthy)

A colon or a dash may be used when the second coordinate clause serves to explain the first. They serve to express the relations which a conjunction would express.

Breakfast over, Aunt Polly had family worship: it began with a prayer built

from the ground up of solid courses of scriptural quotations. (Twain)

Ellsworth advised a triangular piano — the square shapes were so

inexpressibly wearisome to the initiated. (Dreiser)

A comma is used to separate coordinate clauses when the connection between them is very close.

A fly settled on his hair, his breathing sounded heavy in the drowsy silence,

his upper lip under the white moustache puffed in and out. (Galsworthy)
