Oops. Writeacher was correct. I was wrong.
The answer is not B. The sentence needs a semi-colon to separate to independent clauses.
This is the correct sentence.
David wants to go skiing; however he can’t go with you this weekend.
I'm sorry. I'm glad you caught my mistake.
no its ok thx
it was C
You are correct! The correct sentence is option B: "David wants to go skiing, however, he can’t go with you this weekend." Let me explain why this is the correct choice and why the other options are incorrect.
In this sentence, we have two independent clauses joined by the conjunction "however." When joining two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction, you need to use a comma before the coordinating conjunction.
In option A, "David wants to go skiing; however he can’t go with you this weekend," there is a missing comma before the word "however." This makes the sentence incorrect because the comma is necessary to separate the two independent clauses.
In option C, "David wants to go skiing; however, he can’t go with you this weekend," there is an unnecessary comma after the word "however." This makes the sentence incorrect because the comma should be placed before the coordinating conjunction, not after it.
Therefore, option B is punctuated correctly because it includes a comma before the coordinating conjunction "however" and does not have any unnecessary commas.
