Semicolon Guide


Rule 1) use a semicolon in place of a period to separate two sentences when the conjunction has been left out.
     EX: Tommy's dog had rabies; it had to be put down.
Rule 2) use a semicolon before introductory words. 
     EX: There are lots of ingredients in a cake; for example eggs, flour,band sugar.
Rule 3) use a semicolon to separate units of a series when one or more units contain commas. 
     EX: I have lived in Santa Rosa, California; Boston, Massachusetts. 
Rule 4) use a semicolon between two sentences joined by a coordinating conjunction. 
     EX: I had fun, because I was with my friends.
Rule 5) use a semicolon when one or more commas appear in the first sentence.
