So there you have it: use a couple of semi-colons in your answers to questions 5 and 6.
Ideally you should use them right at the beginning and right at the end (this way they stick in
the examiner’s head and remind him / her just how great you are).
COMMAS
Based on the video: http://youtu.be/Nb1kt93bAvI
Commas direct us on how to read a piece of writing and are an incredibly complex piece of
punctuation to use correctly. As with capital letters, there are a number of uses of commas.
1) Listing commas
This is the one everyone knows: we use commas to break up the items in a list,
except for in-between the last two items where we use the word ‘and’. The comma
is correct if it can be replaced with the word ‘and’ or ‘or’.

2) Commas for joining
Commas are used when two complete sentences are joined using conjunctions such
as ‘and, but’ or ‘so’.
The boys wanted to stay up and see Santa, but they grew tired and fell
asleep.
3) Bracketing commas
This is my own personal favourite use of the comma, largely because it is a simple
way of making your written work seem very impressive. Bracketing commas are used
to mark off the beginning and end of a weak interruption to a sentence. In other
words, you can lift the words out from between the two commas and the sentence
still makes sense. Let me show you what I mean:

The above sentence would still make sense if we took the bit out between the
bracketing commas, leaving us with:
