Verb Phrase

The verb phrase can refer to the whole predicate of a sentence (I was
watching my favorite show yesterday) or just the verb or verb group (was
watching).
•I must make an “A” in this class.
•The dog might eat the cake.
•He was walking to work today.
•We grew apart after high school.
The author is writing a new book.
Adverbial Phrase

The adverbial phrase also has two definitions; some say it's a group of
adverbs (very quickly), while others say it's any phrase (usually a
prepositional phrase) that acts as an adverb.

“how”, “where”, “why”, or “when”

How: With great regret

Where: At the corner

Why: To understand better

When: In an hour
•Bob nodded as if he
understood.
•Meet me at the mall.
Adjectival Phrase

As with adverbial phrases, adjectival phrases can either refer to a group of
adjectives(full of toys) or any phrase (like a participial or prepositional
phrase) that acts as an adjective.
•A person smarter than me needs to figure this out.
•The final exams were unbelievably difficult.
•The movie was not too terribly long.
•This pie is very delicious and extremely expensive
.
Prepositional Phrase

"The food on the table looked delicious." A prepositional phrase, which has
a preposition as its head, can function as an adjective, adverb, or even as
a noun.

1st use of a Semicolon

The first appropriate use of the semicolon is to connect two related
sentences. The pattern looks like this:
Complete sentence + ; + complete sentence .
Here is an example: My eighty-one-year-old grandmother still rides her Harley
motorcycle; her toy poodle balances in a basket between the handlebars.
2nd Use of a Semicolon

You can also team up a semicolon with a transition to connect two
complete sentences that are close in meaning. The pattern looks like
this: Complete sentence + ; + transition + , + complete sentence .

Check out this example: My father does not approve of his mother cruising
around town on a Harley motorcycle; however, Grandma has never cared
what anyone thinks.
3rd Use of a Semicolon
Finally, use the semicolon to avoid confusion when you have
complicated lists of items. The pattern looks like this: Item + , + More
Information + ; + Item + , + More Information + ; + and + Item + ,
+ More Information
 Read the following example: On a Harley motorcycle, my grandmother
and her poodle have traveled to Anchorage, Alaska; San Francisco,
California; and Tijuana, Mexico.

Reminders about Semicolon Use
Keep these three things in mind when you use a semicolon:

The two main clauses that the semicolon joins should be closely related in
meaning.

Don't capitalize the word that follows the semicolon unless that word is a
proper noun, one that is always capitalized.

Limit your use of semicolons; you should not scatter them wantonly
throughout your writing. Semicolons are like glasses of champagne; save
them for special occasions.
The Use of a Colon
Thanks to OWL,
the Online Writing Lab from Purdue University, for the following information.
Use a Colon…
after a complete statement in order to introduce one or more directly
related ideas, such as a series of directions, a list, or a quotation or other
comment illustrating or explaining the statement. For Example:

The strategies of corporatist industrial unionism have proven ineffective:
compromises and concessions have left labor in a weakened position in
the new "flexible" economy.
…to introduce a list…

The daily newspaper contains four sections: news, sports, entertainment,
and classified ads.
between the hour and minutes.

He said he would be at home by 5:30 p.m.
between chapter and verse in biblical
references.

He always liked to refer to Genesis 1:18 when starting a speech.
Caution
Space once between a colon and the next word, when the colon is used
between words. Do not space between numerals and a colon when a
colon is used to mark time or ratios.
