〰 Comma Splice

Be careful to avoid a comma splice. This is a very comma error wherein two independent clauses are joined with a comma, like this:

The dog was hungry, he wanted some food.

We can change it in a number of ways to make it correct.

The dog was hungry; he wanted some food.

The dog was hungry. He wanted some food.

The dog was hungry, so he wanted some food.
