Which sentence correctly uses punctuation with a subordinating conjunction? Because of you, I was able to get the help I needed.

Question

Because of you, I was able to get the help I needed.

Because you offered to help.
Because you offered to help.

I got the help I needed; because I needed some help.
I got the help I needed; because I needed some help.

You came over: because I needed some help.
You came over: because I needed some help.

Answer 1

The first sentence, "Because of you, I was able to get the help I needed," is correctly punctuated.

The other options do not correctly use punctuation with the subordinating conjunction:

1. "Because you offered to help." is a complete thought that doesn't require additional punctuation.
2. "I got the help I needed; because I needed some help." is incorrect because a semicolon should not precede a subordinating conjunction like "because."
3. "You came over: because I needed some help." is incorrect because a colon should not precede a subordinating conjunction.

So, the only correct option is the first sentence.
