Question

Semicolons

How are they used in sentences? I know they say is it is used for separating two independent clauses, but, could you break it down in a more simple manner? Just how do I know when to use it, and what is the difference between a semicolon and a comma?

Answer 1

think of semicolons as a mix between a comma and a period! it can help when a period feels too final and a comma makes the sentences too long. it aids the flow of your writing :)
