Where do you put the semicolon for The recipe calls three fourths cup of brown sugar?

Here's why:

* Semicolons are used to join two independent clauses. An independent clause is a complete sentence that can stand alone. The sentence "The recipe calls three fourths cup of brown sugar" is a single, complete thought.

* You could use a comma after "calls" if you want to add a dependent clause. For example: "The recipe calls, for example, for three fourths cup of brown sugar."
