A teacher has so many things that they are responsible for and for that reason; it is beneficial for everyone to have as much help as possible.
Is this sentence correct or should it be a comma after reason?
I would write the sentence as the following:
Teachers have so many responsibilities and for that reason, it is beneficial for everyone to have as much help as possible.
The reason I changed teacher to teachers is because I feel a though you're mixing singular with plural because you later on go to say 'they' when you used the singular form of teacher earlier
Thanks
There should also be a comma after "responsibilities" -- but I doubt you'll see this since the posts above were made in the wee hours of the morning!
THANK you I did put the comma before responsibilites.
The sentence "A teacher has so many things that they are responsible for and for that reason; it is beneficial for everyone to have as much help as possible" is not correct. The word "reason" should be followed by a comma instead of a semicolon.
To determine the correct punctuation in this sentence, you can observe that "for that reason" is providing additional information about the preceding statement. This type of information is usually set off by a comma. Therefore, the correct version of the sentence would be:
"A teacher has so many things that they are responsible for, and for that reason, it is beneficial for everyone to have as much help as possible."
