- Semicolons separate independent clauses not joined by coordinating conjunctions or clauses joined by words like "for example."
- Colons introduce formal statements or quotations.
- Hyphens divide words at line ends or form compound adjectives preceding nouns.
- Dashes indicate abrupt breaks in thought or introduce explanations.
- Quotation marks have periods and commas inside and col
Context clues are hints found within text that help readers understand unfamiliar words. There are several types of context clues, including definition/description clues that directly define or explain a word, synonym/restatement clues that use familiar words with similar meanings, and example clues that provide examples to illustrate a word's meaning. Other context clue types are similes, apposition, contrast/antonyms, inference, and analyzing word structure or roots. Context clues allow readers to determine a word's meaning from context rather than needing an explicit definition.
The document provides rules of thumb for using semicolons and colons in writing. It states that semicolons should be used between two complete sentences and between items in a series that have internal commas. Colons should be used between a complete sentence and a list or explanation, or before a long formal quotation. The document also provides examples and practice sentences demonstrating the proper uses of semicolons and colons.
The document discusses 4 types of commas: listing commas replace 'and' and 'or' in lists; joining commas join two complete sentences with a connecting word; gapping commas show words have been left out of a parallel structure; and bracketing commas come in pairs to mark off weak interruptions that can be removed without changing the sentence's meaning.
This document provides rules for using commas correctly in sentences. It discusses six main rules:

It then discusses exceptions and complex cases, providing examples for each rule. The rules cover subjects connected by words like "or", "and", and "either/or", subjects separated from verbs by prepositional phrases, collective nouns, units like distances and times, and the use of "were" in conditional ("if") sentences. Readers are prompted to apply the rules to practice examples throughout the document.

Understanding the self - lecture 3 HAND-OUTShin Chan
This document provides an overview of psychological theories of the self. It discusses cognition and defines the self as a sense of personal identity. William James and Carl Rogers conceptualized the self as consisting of an "I" that thinks and acts and a "me" that encompasses characteristics and capabilities. The self is also described as a cognitive construct known as self-concept or identity, composed of personal traits, social roles, and responsibilities. Psychological theories see the self as a mental construct created and recreated through interactions with others and experiences over time.
Understanding the self - lecture 2 HAND-OUTShin Chan
The self is shaped by numerous external social and cultural forces. It is not a private, static entity, but rather is dynamic and influenced by circumstances outside itself like family, community, education, gender roles, and language. A person's identity and self-concept are formed through interaction with others from a young age. Children internalize social norms and beliefs through exposure to dialogue, which becomes part of their individual world. While individuals have innate traits, the self is actively engaged in producing one's social world and is molded by different aspects of culture and society from the environment one grows up in.
Understanding the self lecture 1 - PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVESShin Chan
The document discusses different philosophical perspectives on the self from ancient to modern times. It covers views of the self from pre-Socratic philosophers like Thales who saw the soul as the primal matter and source of movement. Socrates believed man has both a body and soul and that the unexamined life is not worth living. Plato saw the soul as having rational, spirited and appetitive components. Later philosophers like Augustine, Aquinas and Descartes further developed ideas of the soul/mind being distinct from the body. Hume rejected the idea of a soul beyond the physical and saw the self as a bundle of perceptions. Kant and later philosophers viewed the self as organizing sensory experiences.
Contemporary art features more experimental subject matter and styles compared to traditional art. Subjects are no longer confined to human figures and landscapes, and can include combinations of people, environments, techniques, and concepts. Contemporary art styles have evolved over decades to include movements like abstract expressionism, kinetic art, op art, performance art, environmental art, feminist art, video art, graffiti art, postmodern art, body art, and digital art. In the Philippines, contemporary art is dominated by abstraction, expressionism, social realism, and mixed media works, with some Western influences. Community and environmental arts are also gaining popularity.

1. A simple guide to
Punctuations Part Two
(Semicolon and Dashes)
Prepared by Ronuel L del Rosario
2. 4.
When to use
a Semicolon
( ; )
A semicolon is used to separate two ideas (two independent clauses)
that are closely related. They can also be used when listing complex
ideas or phrases that use commas within them.
Essentially, a semicolon is like a comma with more meaning or a colon
with more flexibility.
3. To join two or more ideas (parts)
in a sentence when their ideas
are given equal position or rank
The universe has always called
to human beings; there could be no
more final frontier than space
When to use
a Semicolon ( ; )
4. To join two independent clauses
connected by conjunctive adverbs
or transitional phrases
Sam thought David was
inviting him to the picnic to enjoy a
nice day out; as it turned out,
David was planning a surprise
birthday party.
When to use
a Semicolon ( ; )
5. To present items in a list or series
if there are commas within the
items, or if the items are relatively
long and complex
Our family members came all the
way from Denver, Colorado;
Rochester, Minnesota; and even
Paris, France.
When to use
a Semicolon ( ; )
6. When to use a Semicolon
To connect independent clauses joined by a
coordinating conjunction (if the clauses are already
punctuated with commas) or if they are lengthy.
My main research objective is to isolate the cause of
the disease, as well as to contribute to the existing
literature; for this will bring an end to starvation
across the continent, create new study designs related
to epidemiology, and change the very paradigm of my
research field.
7. Using a Semicolon ( ; ) instead
of a Comma ( , )
Incorrect: The specimens were treated properly,
however, they were not stored properly.
Correct: The specimens were treated properly; however,
they were not stored properly.
*The conjunctive adverb “however” shows a connection between the
two independent clauses; do not use a comma to connect two
independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction (and, but,
or, nor, etc.).
8. Using a Semicolon ( ; ) instead
of a Comma ( , )
Incorrect: The sun is wonderful: it produces light, which plants
need to survive, it gives us warmth, which is useful for most life, and
it makes a sad day happier, which is obviously a positive trait!
Correct: The sun is wonderful: it produces light, which plants need
to survive; it gives us warmth, which is useful for most life; and it
makes a sad day happier, which is obviously a positive trait!
(Using only commas, it is unclear what items are being
listed exactly. Semicolons help divide listed items that each
contain commas.)
9. 5.
When to use
a Dashes:
the Hyphen ( - )
The hyphen is the shortest of the three marks, used
most commonly to combine words and to separate
numbers that are not inclusive.
well-being, self-esteem, forty-six, 0905-678-8888
10. 5.
When to use Dashes:
the Hyphen ( - )
The hyphen is the shortest of the three marks,
used most commonly to combine words
and to separate numbers that are not inclusive.
well-being, self-esteem, forty-six, 0905-678-8888
11. When to use Dashes:
the Em Dash ( — )
The em dash creates a strong break in the structure of a
sentence. It can be used in pairs, like parentheses—that is,
to enclose a word, or a phrase, or a clause (as we’ve done
here)—or they can be used alone to detach one end of a
sentence from its main body.
One of the problems in the Philippines—and
believe me, there are many—is that we put the blame on the
citizens instead of the system itself.
12. When to use Dashes:
the Em Dash ( — )
Dashes are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and
complex or in one that contains a number of commas
We bought markers, paper, pens, and tablets—all of
which were on sale, of course—for our clients to use in the
courtroom.
When the em dash is confused with the hyphen, a sentence
is virtually impossible to read.
13. When to use Dashes:
the En Dash ( – )
The en dash is slightly longer than the hyphen but not as
long as the em dash.
The en dash means, quite simply, “through.” We use it most
commonly to indicate inclusive dates and numbers:
July 9–August 17; pp. 37–59.
14. Em Dashes, Parentheses,
or Commas?
* Reserve em dashes for places
where the comma simply doesn’t
provide a strong enough break.
* If commas work, use them instead.
* Parentheses tend to downplay an
idea; they suggest that the information
is not necessary.
*Em dashes draw attention to the
information they enclose or set apart.
15. Try it! J
Identify whether the sentences need a semicolon, a
hyphen, an en dash,or an em dash. Place the punctuation
within the sentences.
_____ 1. Public school teachers who are also mothers,
nurses, referees clearly are not getting paid enough.
______2. We made too many mistakes we lost the game.
