ルール
A semicolon joins two complete, closely related sentences. Both sides of a semicolon must be able to stand alone.
セミコロンは密接に関連する2つの完全な文をつなぐ。両側がそれぞれ独立した文でなければならない。
✔ 正しい文: Bees pollinate crops; without them, harvests would fall.
✘ 誤った文: Bees pollinate crops; which helps farmers.
→ 直し方: Use a comma: "Bees pollinate crops, which helps farmers."
コツ: Treat a semicolon like a period. If one side is not a complete sentence, the semicolon is wrong.
