Comma Splices and How to Fix Them | English Writing Essentials | Common Punctuation Errors

What are comma splices, and how can we fix them? In this lesson, I'll teach you how to identify a comma splice in a sentence and three different ways to fix them. A comma splice is when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma to make one sentence. If you don't know what an independent clause is, I will also explain that in my lesson!

We can fix comma splices by adding a conjunction, adding a semicolon, or making separate sentences.

At the end of my lesson, we'll have a practice session where you will have to identify comma splices and fix them.

Hi Jennifer 👋🏻

I came across your video about "5 FREE Spelling and Grammar Checking Tools (Grammarly Alternatives)", and I saw the link to this channel as well. You mentioned that you have another YT channel wherein you teach on how to become better in English speaking and writing, so I check it straight away. 😊

I am aspiring transcriber or virtual assistant who can help with transcribing; that's why I was looking for some tools that can help me to be better.

I am from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and thank you for this free tutorial videos! Please keep all these coming!

Take care! 😊
