What is a Comma Splice?
"A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are connected with only a comma," 1.
Because a comma splice fuses two clauses together, you always add a period at the end of the second clause. This makes two sentences into one.
How do I do it?
The easiest way is to make two complete sentences that you want in your comma splice.
Example: I went to see a movie last night. It was really funny.
You can add the comma where the period of the first sentence is.
Example: I went to see a movie last night, it was really funny.
Example: I stayed home from school today, I didn't feel very good.
More Examples:
My parents got a new car, it is so cool!
I was too tired last night, so I couldn't finish my homework.
A Rule to Remember!!!
A comma splice occurs when two complete sentences are joined by a comma, and there is no present conjunction.
