A semicolon Is sometimes used in formal writing instead of a full stop when two sentences are very closely connected. It’s also used to separate two main clauses, E. G. I went round this morning; nobody was there. These are often clauses not joined by a link word such as and or but.

Apostrophes show where we have left letters out of a word, E. G. I’m = I am; don’t = do not; I’d = I would or I had.
they are also used to show that something belongs to somebody or something, E. G. Mark’scar = the car belonging to Mark; the children’s room.
