This happens
when a writer has connected two simple sentences (two main clauses) with
just a comma.
Remember the
example of a Run on Sentence?I rushed out to the shop I had no milk left.
Well, some
realise that they cannot leave this sentence like it is and know the two simple
sentences need to be separated so they simply insert a comma.
I rushed
out to the shop, I
had no milk left.
WRONG! This is known as “Comma Splicing”.
Again, your
best solutions are to:
·
Insert
a full stop to make two separate sentences.
·
Insert
a semi-colon to connect the two sentences.
·
Insert
a connective to make a complex sentence.
