Comma splices are one of the serious grammar errors in the sentence level. I assume that these are just like "comma in a wrong place," but I am wrong. A comma splice occurs in these ways:
* Two independent clauses are connected by just a comma without using coordinating conjunctions.
* Two sentences are combined and fused together in one sentence without using any punctuation.
By referring to the conditions of committing comma splices, I realized that I made a mistake in our assignment last time. ;(

I agree with you on what you said regarding your fist impression about comma splices. I also thought they are just like sentences that are connected inappropriately because of comma misplacement, but now I am having a hard time with it. I hope I could get through with it and have good results.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading about comma splices, I realized how unlucky I am for being absent during the discussion. I hope I can get catch up next meeting.
ReplyDeleteI found a lot of these comma splices for our assignment.
ReplyDeleteComma splices are really a bit tricky.
ReplyDeleteI think I made a mistake with the last assignment too.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me think if my assignment is correct. Hopefully it is.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing that we realized our mistakes on our previous assignment. Now, we had a further understanding on the said topic.
