This was her list of things to do: Pick up the Laundry, Clean the House, and pick up the kids

“;” is used i believe when you want to list single words for example

Her shopping list included; apples, pears, tomatos and potatos

a “-” is sometimes used when you want to split up a word two lines but if it is used too much it gets tedious for the reader

a dash is also used i think when you want to make and emphisize a pause like the use of a comma in a way

Use this quickstudy.com

I use several of the quick study books

pays to keep them close by.

Good Luck
