Does Moreover Need a Comma?

When you use however, furthermore, moreover or therefore as intensifiers or for emphasis, we usually put commas around both sides of them.

How do you punctuate Moreover?

Use a semicolon and comma with however, moreover, therefore and furthermore to introduce a new independent clause in a sentence. (An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.) We plan to stay for another year; however, Peter is leaving now.

Can I use moreover in the middle of a sentence?

1. Furthermore: " in some cases it is used in the middle of a sentence." 2. Example: "swimming alone is against the rules and, moreover, it's dangerous."
