You replace the comma with a conjunction or a semicolon.
Examples:
Comma splice: Many people will be running tests at the same time, therefore you should check before making changes that might affect others.
Fix: Many people will be running tests at the same time; therefore, you should check before making changes that might affect others.
Comma splice: We had the party planned weeks in advance, Brent didn't suspect a thing.
Fix: We had the party planned weeks in advance, and Brent didn't suspect a thing.
A run-on sentence is a type of poorly-structured sentence in which a lack of proper punctuation makes two separate independent clauses (sentences) appear to be one.Sentences need to be separated by a period (full stop) or a semicolon. If they are separated by a comma, or by nothing at all, you have a run-on sentence.Examples:"I had to read a book it was long." (Correct: I had to read a book; it was long.)"He went to the store, they were out of tomatoes."(This type of run-on is called a comma splice. The comma either has to be replaced with a semicolon, as in the above example, or you would need to add a conjunction such as 'but' or 'and' to turn the second part into a dependent clause: "He went to the store, but they were out of tomatoes.")
If "at" is the beginning of a phrase, then a comma would be used. So, an example: Turn left, at the green windmill, to go to the old man's house.
No. There is no word or phrase in English that must follow a comma.
A number cannot be turned into a comma which is a punctuation symbol.
All you have to do is think of a predicate if the fragment has only a subject. For example, the fragment is: Liz got the The complete sentence is: Liz got the prom dress she had wanted for years and years, but it couldn't fit her.
Swaddle the baby and turn on some white noise.
Three Ways to Turn a Fragment into a Complete Sentence Attach. Attach the fragment to a nearby complete sentence. Incorrect: I forgot to eat breakfast. ... Revise. Revise the fragment by adding whatever is missing – subject, verb, complete thought. ... Rewrite. Rewrite the fragment or the entire passage that contains the fragment.
It depends on the context. It can be correct to put a comma before "then" or after "then", or not to have a comma either before or after "then". There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. Examples: Turn left at the light, then take the next right, and then take the second right after that. Let's eat dinner now, and then, if you'd like, you can play video games.
Yes, at is a preposition. Whether it requires a comma depends on its position or in some cases whether it introduces a clause. He was seen driving down the road at three o'clock. (no comma) At three o'clock, he was seen driving down the road. (leading, needs comma) He tried to make a turn, at which point his car left the road. (comma)
For a sentence to be complete, it must have a subject and a verb. Giving the incomplete sentence the missing parts will make it complete.For example:"Went to the park" can be made complete by adding a subject to make it "We went to the park""It blue" can be made complete by adding a verb to make it "It is blue""The moon tonight" can be made complete by adding a subject and a verb to make it "I looked at the moon tonight"
The phrase "hunting jaguar in the Amazon" is a fragment rather than a complete sentence. It lacks a subject-verb structure that would make it a complete thought. To turn it into a full sentence, you could say, "The jaguar is hunting in the Amazon."
You don't need a rhyme - you just need to read your sentences out loud before you turn them in!Anytime you pause when you read, put a comma!
