This document provides examples and exercises on the proper use of quotation marks, colons, and semicolons in writing. It discusses using quotation marks for direct quotes, using single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. It also demonstrates using colons to introduce a list and using semicolons to join two independent clauses or as a supercomma between items in a list. Exercises are included for readers to practice applying these punctuation rules correctly in their own writing.
This document discusses compound sentences and their components. A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction like "and", "but", or "or". It can also use a semicolon or colon to join the clauses. Common errors include comma splices, which incorrectly join clauses with just a comma. There are several types of compound sentences including those that clarify meaning, show parallel structure, happen at the same time, or show a contrast. A semicolon connects equal clauses while a colon introduces an explanatory clause.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
