I'm pretty good at English. Mostly. But one thing that just confuses me when it comes to placement is the semicolon. Where would you put it in a sentence? Please correct me if I'm wrong: We didn’t need a reminder; we would all remember the fantastic and selfless things that my mother did in her short lifetime. Is that right? Also, just because I'm a bit fuzzy, before someone is about to speak do you end the sentence with a comma or a full stop? (Full Stop is this: . if anyone was taught differently to me) Sorry if I seem like I don't know the first thing about writing, I don't mean to seem annoying.
