When you combine two independent clauses, you need to separate them with a semicolon--not a comma. If you use a comma instead of a semicolon, the result is called a comma splice.
What are three ways to correct a comma splice?
A comma splice is the joining of two sentences by a comma without the use of a conjunction. For example:*Horace was a Roman poet, he died in 8 BC.Because these two utterances are complete sentences ("Horace was a Roman poet" and "He died in 8 BC"), they should not be joined with a comma. Here are three ways to improve the mechanics of the example:1. Use a semicolon instead of a comma--Horace was a Roman poet; he died in 8 BC.2. Write it as two sentences, separated by a period--Horace was a Roman poet. He died in 8 BC.3. Connect the two sentences by a conjunction, such as and--Horace was a Roman poet, and he died in 8 BC.
