Question

Which sentence with a transition is punctuated correctly?


A.I trained hard for the marathon however I failed to finish.


B.I trained hard for the marathon; however, I failed to finish.


C.I trained hard for the marathon; however I failed to finish.


D.I trained hard for the marathon, however, I failed to finish.

Answer 1

B is the correct answer. When you say that you trained for a marathon, you continue this idea by adding the semi-colon. However is a transition, to there will be a comma after it.

I hoped this is the answer and exclamation you were looking for. ^_^ :)

Answer 2

B Is the right answer :)
