§Grammar and usage

Usage: a semicolon joins two complete clauses without a conjunction, as in 'It was late; we went home', while a comma alone cannot do this.

Usage में semicolon बिना conjunction के दो पूरे clauses को जोड़ता है, जैसे 'It was late; we went home', जबकि अकेला comma ऐसा नहीं कर सकता।
