Narration:

A semi-colon. We saw that when combining two sentences using for, and, nor, but, or, yet, or so we use a comma. However, when combining two sentences into one but NOT using these words, we use a semi colon. For example; An increasing number of students are attending university; therefore not all graduates will find suitable employment.
