| The semicolon separates 2 independent clauses or 2 sentences to make one. |

"You will want to bring many backpacking items; for example, sleeping bags, pans, and warm clothing will make the trip better" is a correct usage.

@specialforces98;
"Rate" is a verb. "My" is a determiner. "Grammar" is a noun.
