What is a comma splice?
1 Answer
A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly connected with only a comma.
Explanation:
An example of this is:
"My family bakes together nearly every night, we then get to enjoy everything we make together."
There are three ways of fixing this. The first is two separate this sentences into two different sentences.
My family bakes together nearly every night. We then get to enjoy everything we make together.
Another way is to add a coordinating conjunction. In this case, we used "and".
My family bakes together nearly every night, and we then get to enjoy everything we make together.
Finally, you could add a subordinating conjunction. In this case, we used "After".
After my family bakes together nearly every night, we get to enjoy everything we make together.
