Answer 1

"A van drove past my house today; it was bright blue.
My auntie has a pet dog; I'm a bit scared of it!
Call me tomorrow; I will give you my answer then."


According to www. grammarbook.com:

"-Use a semicolon in place of a period to separate two sentences where the conjunction has been left out.
-It is preferable to use a semicolon before introductory words such as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., or for instance when they introduce a complete sentence. It is also preferable to use a comma after the introductory word.
-Use either a semicolon or a comma before introductory words such as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., or for instance when they introduce a list following a complete sentence. Use a comma after the introductory word.
-Use the semicolon to separate units of a series when one or more of the units contain commas.
-Use the semicolon between two sentences joined by a coordinating conjunction when one or more commas appear in the first sentence."
