No they do not. Semicolons can separate independent clauses; commas cannot do that.
The box office was closed, but a kind theater attendant let us in.
In modern writing punctuation serves to make writing intelligible to your reader. Commas normally separate groups of items. If you have any reason to separate elements within groups by commas, then you would use semicolons to separate groups. Normally, you use the most basic unit of punctuation possible. You do not normally use a semicolon instead of a comma. Let's try it this way. The sailors included Joe, Sam, and Sue. Or we could say: The sailors included Joe, with the peg leg: Sam, with the handlebar mustache; and Sue, with the stunning blonde hair.
It is used to connect two independent clauses. Independent clauses are a series of words that can stand alone as sentences. In this way, it is used to connect two short sentences into one long one.Ex. This is a complete sentence; this is another sentence.You don't use a semicolon to connect two sentences if there is already a conjunction (and, but, or, etc.) between them, though. For that, you use a comma.Ex. This is a complete sentence, and this is another sentence.The semicolon can also be used a a kind of super-comma. If you have a series of items (that you would usually use a comma to separate) that already have a comma in them, you use the semicolon to separate them instead.Ex. Her favourite books are Pride and Prejudice, The Queen of the Damned, and Of Mice and Men.Compared to:Ex. Her favourite books are Pride and Prejudice, a satire; The Queen of the Damned, a horror story; and Of Mice and Men, a novella.
Yes, especially if they are similar in construction or related. The semicolon is the proper way to join them.
The correct way is to separate an apartment or office number from a street address with a comma, especially if they both appear in the same line.
A comma splice occurs when two sentences are strung together, as in: I went to the store, I bought an apple. Comma splices are corrected by adding punctuation at the end of the first sentence: I went to the store. I bought an apple. You could also use a semi-colon to correct a comma splice, depending on what the sentence is: I went to the store up the street; I wanted an apple, but they didn't have any.
I don't know the answer
One way to fix a run on sentence is to split the sentence into two separate sentences. You can use coordinating conjunctions using for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so this is also known as FANBOYS. You can also use a comma as well. If the sentences are closely related you can separate them with a semicolon.
A semicolon joins two independent clauses (an independent clause is basically something that could stand alone as a sentence) that are linked in subject in some way. So... Joe was sad; his dog died. That is a correct way to use a semicolon, although Joe was sad. His dog died. and Joe was sad that his dog had died. are also just as correct. However, Joe was sad; Eleanor was excited to be moving to Israel. would only be correct if Eleanor's impending travel is the reason for Joe's sadness. If they are relatively unrelated people and you are just discussing their different emotions, then making them two separate sentences is less confusing. Remember... you should never use a semicolon in place of a comma or other punctuation. You can only use it in the place of a period, and then only if the sentences are very closely related. ; You will find the answer to your question in the Related Link below.
