Which sentence is punctuated correctly? the shoes normally cost 40 dollars; however, we got them on sale. the shoes normally cost 40 dollars, however, we got them on sale. the shoes normally cost 40 dollars, however; we got them on sale. the shoes normally cost 40 dollars however we got them on sale.

I believe the answer might be The shoes normally cost 40 dollars; however, we got them on sale. Hope this helps and sorry if I'm wrong

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is A, "the shoes normally cost 40 dollars; however, we got them on sale".  The semicolon should be used because the two sentences are closely related in terms of meaning and should not be separated with a comma.  Yet, as however is an interjection, the comma following it should be retained.

The punctuation in B is used when the however clause follows the subject of the sentence.  The third option is not the one because the semicolon should be placed before the interjection. Finally, D is not correct since it contains no particular punctuation at all.
