A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined together with only a comma, which is grammatically incorrect.
Here's an example:
* Incorrect: The sun was shining, the birds were singing.
To correct a comma splice, you can:
* Use a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, for, nor, so, yet): The sun was shining, and the birds were singing.
* Use a semicolon: The sun was shining; the birds were singing.
* Separate the clauses into two sentences: The sun was shining. The birds were singing.
* Use a subordinating conjunction (because, although, since, etc.): Because the sun was shining, the birds were singing.
