How Do We Use A Semi Colon

How do we use a Semi colon

Answer:

Semicolons are used to connect two independent clauses (sentences that can stand alone) that are related in thought. Basically, semicolon is longer than a comma but shorter than a period.

For example,

My laptop is not working anymore. The battery is dead.

These clauses that are related in thought are joined together by a semicolon:

My laptop is not working anymore; the battery is dead.
