Learning to combine ideas into more
complex sentences is an important skill in writing. There are many ways to do
this. Try to combine the following three sentences.
Sentence 1: Where were
you on Halloween?
Sentence 2: I thought
you were going to the party at Sheila's house.
Sentence 3: When I
got there, you were nowhere in sight, and you weren't answering your phone.

I thought you were going to the party at Sheila's house on Halloween; when I got there, you were nowhere in sight and were not answering your phone -- where were you?
Good. But here's a way of doing it without using a semicolon or dash:
I thought you were going to the party at Sheila's house on Halloween, but when I got there, you were nowhere in sight, and you weren't answering your phone, so where were you?
