The weather was very cold, nevertheless, we decided to go mountain climbing.
The weather was very cold, nevertheless, we decided to go mountain climbing.
Hello,
One native English speaker in WR forum told me: "The blank needs a conjunction and/or a change in punctuation. As it stands, putting "nevertheless" between the two commas in the OP is incorrect. It is two statements not joined by a conjunction. Change the first comma to a semi-colon or a period and it will be correct."
I couldn't understand his meaning. Would you please be kind enough to clarify his meaning to me by rewriting my blue sentence according to what he has said?

What does he mean?
Thank you.
