Five Editing Strategies for Correcting Comma Splices and Run-on Sentences
1. Insert a period between the two independent clauses.
This may, however, give your writing a choppy effect, with too many simple
sentences.
Example
The water in Hawaii is warm, swimming is a favorite activity of tourists.
The water in Hawaii is warm.
Swimming is a favorite activity of tourists.
2. Join the two independent clauses with a comma and a Coordinate
Conjunction
The water in Hawaii is warm, and swimming is a favorite activity of tourists.
3. If this is logical, join the two independent clauses with a semi-colon alone.
Hawaii is a wonderful place to visit; some people even call it paradise.
4. Join the two independent clauses with a transition.
Hawaii is a wonderful place to visit; indeed, some people even call it paradise.
5. Make one of the clauses dependent by adding a subordinate conjunction.
Because Hawaii is such a wonderful place to visit, some people call it paradise.
There was a farmer had a dog
and Bingo was his name, sir.
B-I-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name, sir.
