grammer #3

my last grammer post was on comma's, so i decided to move on to semicolons/punctuations.i've seen them things i have read, but never found out why.

Use a semicolon in place of a period to separate two sentences where the conjunction has been left out.

Use the semicolon to separate units of a series when one or more of the units contain commas.

Use the semicolon between two sentences joined by a coordinating conjunction when one or more commas appear in the first sentence.
