Semi colon versus comma

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Icon Semi colon versus comma

Post by Judestor »

Would you use a comma or semi colon for ‘It’s an interesting theory, the idea that...’

I would have thought you would use a comma as the first clause isn’t fully formed but interested in feedback.

Thanks
