Aturan
A semicolon joins two complete, closely related sentences. Both sides of a semicolon must be able to stand alone.
Titik koma menggabungkan dua kalimat lengkap yang berkaitan erat. Kedua sisinya harus dapat berdiri sendiri.
✔ Benar: Bees pollinate crops; without them, harvests would fall.
✘ Salah: Bees pollinate crops; which helps farmers.
→ Perbaikan: Use a comma: "Bees pollinate crops, which helps farmers."
Tips: Treat a semicolon like a period. If one side is not a complete sentence, the semicolon is wrong.
