Narrator: Oh look Brain! A semi-colon.
Brain: Brain!
Narrator: Semi-colons are used to show breaks in a sentence where a comma fails to give you a strong enough pause.
But you don’t want to use a full stop to end the sentence completely.
Put them together and woah a semi-colon!
A semi-colon can replace a full stop between two sentences that share a theme.
Linking them together in a way that a full stop doesn’t.
Brain understands semi-colons; he’s a smart guy.
Brain: Brain!
