Which version of this sentence uses punctuation correctly? I like trying new activities therefore; I'm looking forward to learning to snowboard. I like trying new activities, therefore; I'm looking forward to learning to snowboard. I like trying new activities; therefore I'm looking forward to learning to snowboard. I like trying new activities; therefore, I'm looking forward to learning to snowboard.

The correct version of the sentence is: "I like trying new activities; therefore, I'm looking forward to learning to snowboard." This version correctly uses a semicolon before "therefore" to connect two independent clauses while placing a comma after "therefore" to properly introduce the following clause. Understanding punctuation is vital for clear communication. A semicolon links closely related ideas, while commas help clarify relationships within a sentence. Mastering these rules will enhance your writing skills and make your points more impactful!
