Semicolons 1
Some words that we write need a stronger pause before them than that provided by a comma. Examples of these types of words are: however, therefore, also, moreover, furthermore, hence, subsequently and consequently.
Further examples showing semicolon usage:
1) She is a wonderful chef; therefore we must consider her for the job.
2) He loves camping; furthermore he can afford to go on the trip.
3) I love English; hence I've decided to study Literature at university.
In the above examples the words 'therefore', 'furthermore' and 'hence' need to remain strong in the sentences. They need a strong pause before them and this is done through the use of the semicolon.
This is very useful
Semicolons cause a stronger pause of the sentence than a comma does. Usually semicolons are used before words like futhermore, hence, therefore, also, however, subsequently, consequently and morever
Very consistent.
Semicolons are used to join two or more ideas in a sentence, those ideas are given equal position or rank example Some people write with a word processor, others with a pen or pencil
I love English ; hence I'm studying well.
Semicolons are used as a strong pause.
