Semicolons are for when you're feeling to lazy to put ", and". Also if you've already used ", and" in your sentence. Could lead to sentence overcomplexity if you aren't careful.
Examples:
I picked her up from work today; she hadn't changed.
I picked her up from work today, and she was still angry; she hadn't changed.
Well, according to what I learned when I was in Algebra I, you should never have to use a semicolon.
no
The semicolon is used to indicate a separate clause in a sentence. It separates this new clause from the rest of the sentence. For example... "I'm having a day off work today; the first in two weeks!" The semicolon splits these two stand alone clauses in this sentence. What's a clause you may ask. Well, it is any group of words that make grammatical sense, usually containing a noun, a verb and an object.
Once.
A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses together. An example of two independent clauses joined together via semicolon is: "Baum's book is a political allegory; few people today would recognize the political events in this story."
I can give you several sentences.You use a semicolon to separate two clauses.A semicolon is like a comma with a period on top of it.You need to learn how to use the semicolon properly.
Well, according to what I learned when I was in Algebra I, you should never have to use a semicolon.
NO.
NO
yes
Well, as long as such isn not the beginning of a list of things, such would not have a semicolon in front of it.
Yes, you can use a gerund after a semicolon in a sentence. The semicolon is used to join two closely related independent clauses, and a gerund can function as a noun in a sentence. Make sure the gerund phrase after the semicolon complements or expands upon the information in the first clause.
No, but you may be able to use a semicolon. A semicolon and a conjunctive adverb can sometimes take the place of a subordinating conjunction.
I wouldn't use a semicolon in a conditional (if) sentence. Semicolons can join two independent clauses without a conjunction. The "if" clause in a conditional sentence is dependent, not independent.
Example-They use they following things:pens, pencils, and markers
Yes, that is one of the most common uses of a semicolon. If there is a conjunction joining the clauses, however, you should use a comma instead of a semicolon.
No, the word "and" should not follow a semicolon. Semicolons are used to separate independent clauses; if you want to include "and," it would typically be used within one of the independent clauses separated by the semicolon.
