Which sentence uses a semicolon correctly. I need to bring the following things; my gym bag, my backpack, and your helmet second sentence before we go to softball practice; we have to finish our homework or we moved practice to the gym; after it started raining and the stadium is located next to the school; it does not take long to walk there.

Answer 1

The correctly structured sentence using semicolons should follow this structure. Based on your sentences, it seems that they need some adjustments, as none of the original sentences use semicolons correctly. However, let's clarify the use of semicolons.

Semicolons are typically used to connect independent clauses that are closely related in thought or to separate items in a list that already includes commas.

Here’s a corrected version of one of your sentences using a semicolon:

"We have to finish our homework; otherwise, we may not be able to go to softball practice."

If you're still looking to choose from the provided sentences, I suggest rephrasing them with the correct use of semicolons.
