The correct punctuated version of the word group you provided is:
"It rained every day of our vacation; nevertheless, we had a wonderful time."
To determine the correct punctuation, we can break down the sentence and focus on a few key elements:
1. Capitalization: The sentence begins with a capital letter, "It." This is correct.
2. Comma before the coordinating conjunction: Since there is a coordinating conjunction ("nevertheless") joining the two independent clauses ("It rained every day of our vacation" and "we had a wonderful time"), a comma is needed before "nevertheless."
3. Semicolon between related clauses: To emphasize the relationship between the two independent clauses, a semicolon is used instead of a comma. In this case, a semicolon separates "It rained every day of our vacation" from "nevertheless, we had a wonderful time."
4. Capitalization after a semicolon: The word that follows a semicolon doesn't need to be capitalized unless it starts a proper noun or a complete sentence. Therefore, "nevertheless" does not require capitalization after the semicolon in this context.
5. Capitalization after a coordinating conjunction: The word following a coordinating conjunction, such as "nevertheless," is not capitalized unless it starts a proper noun or a complete sentence. Therefore, "we" is not capitalized in this case.
By following these rules, the correct punctuation for the word group is: "It rained every day of our vacation; nevertheless, we had a wonderful time."
