Repast them with my blood.

made a good end—

The semicolon (;) is probably
the most commonly misused punctuation mark. It is easy to use, but many people
do not understand how to use it correctly.
Semicolons are easy to use
correctly, as long as you remember one simple rule about semicolon use: a
semicolon should be used to separate two independent clauses (or complete
sentences) that are closely related in meaning.
That's it--that's all that you need
to remember to use semicolons correctly. Wow. That was easy.
To help you determine if you are
using a semicolon correctly, just ask yourself if a period would be correct if
used where the semicolon is used. If so, then you have used the semicolon
correctly. If a comma could be used where a semicolon is used, then the
semicolon is not used correctly. To some extent, periods and semicolons are
interchangeable--in many situations, you can use one or the other. But
semicolons and commas are not interchangeable--if you can replace a semicolon
with a comma, you have used the semicolon incorrectly.
Semicolons are often misused. Some
writers seem to think that semicolons are fancy commas that create longer
pauses than commas. This is not true. A semicolon NEVER should be used to try
to create a "pause" longer than that achieved by a comma.
If you can use a period correctly,
then you can use a semicolon correctly. A semicolon is used just like a period,
but it is used to separate two complete sentences when the sentences are
closely related in meaning.
(Note: There are some exceptions to
these rules of semicolon usage, but they are so rare that they seldom come up
in student papers.)
Please insert the
semi-colon in the following sentences as needed. Some commas may need removing;
as well, some sentences might be fine as they are written.
