The semicolon mistake in the second sentence is that there should be a semicolon after "Sentences" instead of a comma. The correct sentence should be: "We finished Chapter 1, Sentences; Chapter 2, Phrases; and Chapter 3, Clauses."
The semicolon mistake in the third sentence is that there should be a semicolon after "Mary" instead of a comma. The correct sentence should be: "The characters are Mary; the nasty girl, Cindy; the kind one, and Tricia; the peacemaker."
The semicolon mistake in the fourth sentence is that there should be a semicolon after "Thursday, December 9" instead of a comma. The correct sentence should be: "You should come on Thursday, December 9; Friday, December 17; and Tuesday, December 21."
