Rule reminder

Key punctuation rules: (1) Connectives that open a new sentence after a full stop or semicolon are capitalized (Tuttavia, / tuttavia, after ;). (2) 'Sebbene', 'benché', 'nonostante' + subjunctive → no comma needed before the main clause. (3) 'Poiché', 'dato che', 'in quanto' at the start → no comma. (4) Mid-sentence insertions (tuttavia, however) → set off by commas. (5) Correlatives (non solo... ma anche) → no comma before 'ma'.
