How do you write however with a semicolon?

You can't directly use "however" with a semicolon. Semicolons are used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related in meaning.

Here's the common way to use a semicolon with a transition word like "however":

1. Independent Clause; Transition Word, Independent Clause.

Example:

* The weather forecast predicted sunshine; however, it started raining heavily in the afternoon.

In this case, the semicolon joins the two independent clauses, and the comma follows the transition word "however."

Important Note: You can use other transition words besides "however" with this structure, such as:

* nevertheless

* therefore

* consequently

* moreover

* furthermore
