Which sentence correctly uses punctuation to show a quick change between ideas?

1 answer

To illustrate a quick change between ideas using punctuation, you could use a semicolon or a dash. Here’s an example:

"I wanted to go for a run today; however, the weather was terrible."

Or using a dash:

"I wanted to go for a run today—but the weather was terrible."

Both sentences effectively show a quick shift in thoughts.
