English Language & Usage Asked by milly on February 22, 2021
I’m really struggling with semicolons and I know I need an independent clause after the semicolon but I feel like that makes the whole sentences flow a bit sharp?
would this be correct:
"My prior knowledge of this sector was limited; therefore, I was surprised to learn about the different strategies business used to outcompete different firms"
I know I need to get rid of therefore to make it independent but I feel like the vibe of the sentence would change?
please help and thank you!
Therefore can be used in an independent clause, so your sentence structure is fine as it is. As you said, a semicolon can join essentially any two independent clauses into one sentence.
