Comma splices are grammatical errors that occur when two independent clauses (complete thoughts) are joined together in a sentence only by a comma, without proper conjunctions or punctuation marks. This results in the incorrect joining of two separate thoughts with a comma alone. For example: "I went to the store, I bought some groceries." This sentence should be corrected by using a coordinating conjunction (e.g., 'and') or by separating the clauses into two separate sentences.
Comma splices are errors that occur when two independent clauses are joined together with only a comma, without the use of a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation. This is considered incorrect because each independent clause should be separated by a stronger punctuation mark, such as a period or a semicolon.
