What sentce uses incorrect semi-colon?

An incorrect use of a semicolon can be seen in the sentence: "I have a big test tomorrow; I can't go out tonight." This sentence is correct because it connects two independent clauses. An example of incorrect usage would be: "I enjoy reading; and going for walks." Here, the semicolon is improperly placed before the conjunction "and," which should instead connect the two phrases without a semicolon.

Can a semi colon be used after the word however?

In some cases, yes. It's usually a bad idea, however; the more common usage is for the semicolon to precede the word. It may help to ask yourself "would this still make sense if the semicolon were a period?" If so, then the semicolon is probably in the right place. There's really no reason to ever use a semicolon if you don't know how to do it properly. 99 44/100 % of the time a period will work almost as well. (The 0.56% where it won't? Programming languages.)
