Explanation:
First of all, what is the difference between semicolons and commas? In order to know when to put them, you need to know what their purpose is.
-
Semicolons separate independent clauses when there is no conjunction (which is a word like "and" or "but").
-
Commas are used to separate dependent clauses, independent clauses when there are conjunctions being used, lists, and phrases.
In your sentence, there needs to be a semicolon, because there are two independent clauses without a conjunction in between.
