You need a semicolon when you have two independent clauses; an independent clause can stand by itself as it is a complete sentence.

the rest of your answers are correctI need help with 10 english problems where to add semicolons?
Well, I'm not going to do your homework for you, but I'll be glad to help you learn about semicolons. A semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related and therefore can be properly included in the same sentence. You've done #2, #3, #4, #7, #8, #9, and #10 correctly. Look carefully at these and use them as examples to help you figure out the others. Each independent clause could stand alone as a separate sentence; that's your clue as to where to put the semicolon.
