How do you use quotation marks and semicolon?

Quotation marks are used to indicate direct speech, quotations, or titles of short works, such as articles or poems. A semicolon connects closely related independent clauses or separates items in a complex list. For example: She said, “I will be there soon”; however, I’m not sure what time. Here, the quotation marks highlight her exact Words, while the semicolon links two related but distinct thoughts.
