What is the purpose of a semicolon?
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.
Where would it be appropriate to put a semicolon?
A semicolon is used to indicate a moderate pause in a sentence. It's primary purpose is to join together two independent clauses. For example: "I like to eat hotdogs; they go well with ketchup." Both clauses before and after the semicolon can function independently in their own separate sentences, and so a semicolon is appropriate to use to join them together in this case. A semicolon should not be used in place of or alongside conjunctions, such as "but, or, and" etc.
Does and go before or after a semicolon?
It goes after a semicolon. "And" is a word that finishes off a idea/list, so it has to go after a semicolon.
