Sentence Construction And Errors Questions
Comma splice errors can be corrected by using one of the following methods:
1. Replace the comma with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet) to create a compound sentence.
Example: I went to the store, and I bought some groceries.
2. Replace the comma with a semicolon to separate two independent clauses.
Example: She loves to read; she spends hours in the library.
3. Use a subordinating conjunction to turn one of the clauses into a dependent clause.
Example: Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk.
4. Rewrite the sentence to create two separate sentences.
Example: I am tired. I need to go to bed.
