A conjunction needs to be added to a sentence in order to prevent a comma splice. A conjunction is a "connector word;" they are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. Two independent clauses (sentences) cannot be hooked together by a comma; they can only be connected with a semicolon or made into to individual sentences. However, you can connect them with the appropriate conjunction.
For example: I would love to go to the movies, but I have a lot of homework to finish this weekend.
