When a sentence has a semicolon it just means that its adding something to the sentences. Like for example: No one was seriously hurt in the accident; one man suffered a broken finger. This is what the semicolon means in a sentences.
It should be written like this: "Joe watered the garden; however, the plants did not grow". Or you could eliminate the semicolon altogether and use a comma as in: "Joe watered the garden, but the plants did not grow."B.This sentences uses a semicolon; the semicolon joins two complete sentences.
Without the sentences provided, I can't determine which sentence uses commas correctly.
A pronoun sentence is a sentence that uses a pronoun to replace a noun. For example, instead of saying "John is going to the store," you could say "He is going to the store." An adjective sentence, on the other hand, is a sentence that uses an adjective to describe a noun. For example, "The cat is black" is an adjective sentence because it uses the adjective "black" to describe the noun "cat."

Sentences that use commands are called imperatives.
At least two clauses; one clause
There are three uses for the semicolon: # To join two independent clauses (complete sentences) that are closely related. # To join two independent clauses when the second clause begins with a conjunctive adverb or a transitional phrase (therefore, however, as a result, in fact, etc.) # To separate items in a series when one or more of the items contain a comma. The semicolon serves the same purpose as a coordinate conjunction. However, the semicolon is used sparingly whereas the coordinate conjunction may be used often.
All sentences use punctuation, if only a period at the end.
A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses, which are complete thoughts, using a comma followed by a FANBOYS conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or by using a semicolon. For example, "I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain" is a compound sentence using a comma and a conjunction. Alternatively, "I wanted to go for a walk; it started to rain" uses a semicolon to join the clauses. Both methods effectively connect the ideas while maintaining their independence.
A pronoun sentence is a sentence that uses a pronoun to replace a noun. For example, instead of saying "John is going to the store," you could say "He is going to the store." An adjective sentence, on the other hand, is a sentence that uses an adjective to describe a noun. For example, "The cat is black" is an adjective sentence because it uses the adjective "black" to describe the noun "cat."
Yes, that is one of the most common uses of a semicolon. If there is a conjunction joining the clauses, however, you should use a comma instead of a semicolon.
