COMMA ABUSE . COMMA SPLICE

What's a comma splice?  Incorrect use of a comma to connect two independent sentences.

 

When you want to join two independent clauses, you need a conjunction or a semicolon. A comma alone isn’t strong enough to join them. This kind of mistake is called a comma splice.

INCORRECT: We were out of milk, I went to the store.

INCORRECT: The experiment was unsuccessful, the temperature was not controlled sufficiently.

INCORRECT: The opening paragraph was incredibly moving, it touches on the common fear of losing a loved one.

INCORRECT: Money is not the only motivating factor for people to work, self-worth and the need for more social interaction can also be reasons for working.

>> There are three ways to correct comma splices:

1. Replace the comma with a conjunction:

 CORRECT: We were out of milk, so I went to the store. 

CORRECT: The experiment was unsuccessful because the temperature was not controlled sufficiently.

2. Replace the comma with a semi-colon:

CORRECT: The opening paragraph was incredibly moving; it touches on the common fear of losing a loved one.

CORRECT: We were out of milk; I went to the store.

3. Replace the comma with a full stop:

CORRECT: We were out of milk. I went to the store.

CORRECT: Money is not the only motivating factor for people to work. Self-worth and the need for more social interaction can also be reasons for working.

The method you choose will depend on your particular sentence and how closely you want the two clauses to be associated.

SUBJECT - VERB AGREEMENT

EXPLANATION 1 (CLEAR, EASY TO READ)

TEN SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT RULES

Errors in subject-verb agreement may occur when

• a sentence contains a compound subject;
• the subject of the sentence is separate from the verb;
• the subject of the sentence is an indefinite pronoun, such as anyone or everyone;
• the subject of the sentence is a collective noun, such as team or organization;
• the subject appears after the verb.

Recognizing the sources of common errors in subject-verb agreement will help you avoid these errors in your writing. This section covers the subject-verb agreement errors in more detail.
