OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain the difference between when I should use a semicolon and colon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Colons are only used when you list many things. Semi colons are used when you connect 2 independent clauses, but a period isn't fit for it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes sense. So one more question, if there is a sentence that has however, or therefore, I would use a period before that or a semicolon?

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

semicolon is to connect independent clauses to show better relation then a period yeah your right!
