1. A semicolon can replace a period if the writer wishes to narrow the gap between two closely linked sentences.

2. Use a semicolon before such words and terms as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., for instance, etc., when they introduce a complete sentence. It is also preferable to use a comma after these words and terms.
