What is sentence splice?

A sentence splice (alternately, comma splice) is when 2 independent clauses are joined by a comma. This is not grammatically correct. To fix a sentence splice, you can either change the comma to a semicolon, or you can add a coordinating conjunction after the comma (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).


What is the proper term for a run-on sentence that is incorrectly punctuated with a comma in the middle of it instead of a semicolon or period?

Could you correct the sentence of will you be there at that time.?

Will you be there at that time? "at that time" is redundant, but completely acceptable in any circle except one specifically concerned with refined sentences. "Will you be there?" already implies a moment in time. However, the moment is refered to indirectly; the direct reference is to where one will be. The sentence structure occurs after a future, planned event has been mentioned. The time will have been indicated or assumed. A better grammarian can explain it more complicatedly, which would be useful and interesting... to some people.


Should you put a comma before as well?

ORIGINAL ANSWER: no ** That's not entirely correct. If the "as well as" phrase occurs with a clause at the end of a sentence, do not use a comma. EX: Bob gave a donation to Joe as well as his friend John. If the "as well as" phrase occurs with an interrupting clause in the middle of a sentence, do surround the clause with commas. EX: Bob, as well as his friend John, went to the premiere of the new movie. (As a longtime typist and transcriptionist, I know my commas!)
