Uses Of Semicolons:
1.Semicolons join two independent clauses (complete sentences) that are closely related if no coordinating conjunction is used.
2.Semicolons signal to a reader that the information in both sentences should be taken together.
3.Semicolons help avoid confusion between items in lists where there are
already commas.
Examples:
She traveled to U.K, Kenya, Brazil ; Seoul, South Korea ; and Nairobi.
