Remedies
- Use separate sentences. However, this may disconnect related independent clauses and cause some of the meaning to be lost:
- It is nearly half past five. We cannot reach town before dark.
- Use a semicolon. This maintains the connection between the clauses while ensuring a pause between the two ideas:
- It is nearly half past five; we cannot reach town before dark.
- Use a coordinating conjunction with a comma.
- It is nearly half past five, so we cannot reach town before dark.
