When do we use semi colon?.

We typically use semi colon when a style is stronger than a comma and a semi colon is needed there.

Answer:

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank.
