I know this is really sad, no pathetic, but I have some questions.

The shop assistant smiled and replied, “I’m sorry sir; we don’t have any tomatoes right now. However, we have a sale on these farm-fresh cucumbers.” <--- How do you know when to use a semi-colon?

“Excuse me,” he said politely, “Could you please help me find tomatoes?” <--- Why isn't this one:
“Excuse me,” he said politely, “could you please help me find tomatoes?” The same sentence is being continued so why is it capitalized?

It's not sad - the second one is just a language norm because it looks neater. What's sad is that I'm about to explain semi colons like the nerd I am:

Bob likes red; it is his favourite colour.
This sentence means the same as:
Bob likes red, because it is his favourite colour.
or
Bob likes red, this makes it his favourite colour.

But saying "Bob likes red, it is his favourite colour." is perfectly fine too: Semi colons and colons are the non-neccessary punctuation of people who want to show off. I use them both, as much as I can fit into my work. XD

this isnt a grammar-perfect story. first or second paragraph has a compound sentence. COMPOUND SENTENCE with two subjects and two predicates:Bob loved his house and he always kept it very neat.

There should be a comma before the conjunction: Bob loved his house ,and he always kept it very neat.

no, the comma is not required is not required there. Otherwise MS Word would have informed me of it.

but it is still better than half of the stories on here! lol it was cute and funny and all that, but idk I'm not sure how much it helped me with my writing abilities :/

Can someone say children's author, oh wait, may someones already have.

I loved the story very, very much.

I liked it. It was funny. Haha. >.<

Best. Story. Ever.

I kinda think this could be a published children's book! Nice work! =]

It's sad to know that, even though this story was only an example, it was much better then some of the text I've found here on Mibba. And besides, I thought it was cute. Could work for a children's story.

I bow down to you, m'dear. ^^*

Wow.

JUST KIDDING PLEASE DON'T THINK I AM THAT N00BISH!!! -snorts-

Thanks for posting this, btw.

It may not have any real purpose other than being an example for people, but it's adorable beyond all reason.

We can give Bob a last name...how'z about Bob Bryar :tehe: :tehe: :crazy: :crazy:

Bob Bryar loves Cat's and your Bob has Sam his cat but Bob Bryar likes Orange Juce more then Apple...

Brilliant story, I just can ot wait for the movie !!! :lmfao

I realize that the story isn't supposed to do any more than serve as an example, but it was awesome! I love it!

I swear. That made me laugh beyond recommendation. I think I owe you a thanks for writing that. It was adorable and just made my life complete. (:

This story was ok... i guess...
