Comma Splices Type of run-on where two independent clauses (complete sentences) are incorrectly joined by a comma. Example: Today I am tired, I will take a nap later.

Correcting Run-Ons and Comma Splices 1.Replace comma with a period and make two different sentences. 1.Today I am tired. I will take a nap later. 2.Join the two sentences correctly by adding a coordinate conjunction (FANBOYS) after the comma 1.Today I am tired, so I will take a nap later. 3.Join two sentences correctly by inserting a semicolon. 1.Today I am tired; I will take a nap later.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood There/Their/They’re – There: location (over there). Here and there. – Their: possessive of they. Their house is down the road. – They’re: contraction for “they are” – apostrophe shows omitted letter. They’re in Europe.
