Explaine how are semicolons used correctly

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. You can also use a semicolon between items in a list or series if any of the items contain commas, or even use a semicolon between independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction if the clauses are already punctuated with commas or if the clauses are lengthy.
