    Comma splice is the use of comma to join the two independent clause. Comma splice errors are like very much similar to run-on sentences. Wikipedia defines run-on as “a run-on is a sentence in which two or more independent clauses (i.e., complete sentences) are joined without an appropriate punctuation or conjunction.” A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are connected with only a comma. “Comma splices often arise when writers use conjunctive adverbs to separate two independent clauses instead of using a coordinate conjunction. A coordinating conjunction is one of the seven words: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. A conjunctive adverb is a word like furthermore, however, or moreover.

For example, we gathered around, we then moved to Kansas City. This sentence contains comma splice error. And it can be resolved or corrected by using a conjunction “and”. We gathered around, and we then moved to Kansas…
