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.

Famous quotes containing the word remedies:
“Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie,
Which we ascribe to heaven. The fated sky
Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Fear, coercion, punishment, are the masculine remedies for moral weakness, but statistics show their failure for centuries. Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences? Everything in our present system tends to lower the physical vitality, the self-respect, the moral tone, and to harden instead of reforming the criminal.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Tenderly apply to her
Some remedies for life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
