is it correct sentence ? Plz help?
Favorite Answer
If you like shopping ,DVDs, TV; I certainly love you.
You need a semi-colon after TV because the rule is to use a comma UNLESS there are other commas in the sentence (like you did with your list). Then you would use a semi-colon. It is to keep people from getting confused. (Otherwise they may think “I certainly love you” is part of the list).
I would also put the word “and” after DVDs. Both “dvds, and…” and “dvds and” are correct, but I always do the one with the comma.
(In reference to the person below’s answer “then I’ll certainly love you”…that is correct too, but I think that may change your meaning a little bit. Your sentence is present conditional (which means “I already love you, if you like these things” …her way of writing it is more future. Like says “If you like these, then I will love you” (not saying you do already right now)
(This is just a thought: how about adding reading?)
In your question, don’t put a comma before a parenthesis.
“If you like shopping, DVDs, and TV, then I’ll certainly love you.”
Seriously, you could either put a comma after TV or rephrase as “…dvds, and TV, I certainly love you” (preferred)
Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? – Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. – Psalm 68:19. Peace and God Bless.
