sentence correction

Question

what is wrong with this sentence? : The cow Jumped over the mun and ran straight for the forest; since he got very skared.

Answer 1

Mun is misspelled - it should be moon. The semi-colon takes the place of conjunctions, but in this sentence it is followed by 'since' - a connector of cause of effect. The semicolon should be a comma instead, because a comma indicates a pause and a new clause, but does not take the place of a connecting word. Skared is also misspelled - it should be scared.

Answer 2

man and scared are misspelled. The phrase after the semi-colon is not a complete sentence and would be better placed at the beginning of the sentence followed by a comma.
