Grammar Post 2

While doing the in class revision, a question came up on a grammatical issue. It concerned my paper, where I had to many commas in a sentence and they didn't seem to fit right. I wondered if the use of a semi-colon would have been more acceptable. The statement was," The song had always made me think of her, it played during our first kiss." The comma just didn't seem to fit right. So after looking up the rules of semi-colons on the site on ehow.com I learned that semi-colons can be used when the second part of a sentence is connected to the first, but is used to amplify the first. So I revised my sentence to read as follows: "The song has always made me think of her; it played during our first kiss."
