Semi-colons are used to separate items in a list and to link closely related sentences.
For example:The speakers were: Dr Sally Meadows, Biology; Ms Gerri Taylor, Sociology; and Prof.
Julie Briggs, Chemistry.
Use a semicolon grammar
To link sentences which are closely related
sentences with semicolonsSuch as:
moreover, nevertheless, thus, besides, accordingly,
consequently, instead, hence.
So now the we know the rules for semicolons
For grammar colon rules
We use it for five things.
2.When you are introducing a formal
statement or a quotation, you can use a colon in much the same way you would use a comma to do the same
job.
3.If you say something, and then you
feel like it needs to be restated, explained or clarified in another
independent clause, you can put a colon between them.
And that is how to use a colon in your sentence.
Now that we know their uses, never get confused with
colon punctuation and the semi-colon.
