§Grammar and usage
Grammar and punctuation, asked often: therefore is an adverb, not a conjunction, so it cannot join two clauses with just a comma ('He was ill, therefore he stayed home' is wrong; use a semicolon or a full stop: 'He was ill; therefore, he stayed home').
Grammar और विराम-चिह्न अक्सर पूछे जाते हैं: therefore adverb है, conjunction नहीं, इसलिए यह केवल comma से दो उपवाक्य नहीं जोड़ सकता ('He was ill, therefore he stayed home' गलत है; semicolon या full stop प्रयुक्त करें: 'He was ill; therefore, he stayed home')।
Quote: 'I think, therefore I am' (René Descartes).
उद्धरण 'I think, therefore I am' (René Descartes, मैं सोचता हूँ, इसलिए मैं हूँ)।
