Final answer:

Semicolons in English are used to connect closely related independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction, preventing choppiness in writing.


Explanation:

Semicolons in English are used to join two closely related independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction, and to prevent choppiness in writing.

One way semicolons are used is to keep closely related ideas together within a sentence, acting as a longer pause than a comma but not as final as a period.

Another usage includes connecting two independent clauses with related and equal ideas using a conjunctive adverb followed by a semicolon.
