The semicolon is a term for that which has the dot below the comma. It appears between two sentences where the preceding is a result or cause of the following. Or a sentence that has caused another; and what I mentioned is more appropriate. And between those long sentences, if the meanings are connected. Until we see in the composition the collection of sentences forming a complete and beneficial meaning. The pause at it should be moderate, so we can breathe and not mix [the meanings].
