ACT English tips:
For punctuation questions, eliminate choices that use unnecessary commas between subjects/verbs, between adjectives/nouns, or between prepositional phrases. Punctuation should match-don't pair a comma with a dash or parentheses.
In order to use a semicolon, be sure an independent clause is on both sides of the semicolon.
See your English teacher if you need extra practice!❤️🖤
