Correct Comma Splice with Example


-- > I love reading, I don’t have much time for it these days.

Hi! This sentence is a classic example of a comma splice because two independent clauses are joined by a comma instead of a proper conjunction or punctuation. Here's how you can fix it:
- Separate into two sentences:
- I love reading. I don’t have much time for it these days.
- Use a semicolon:
- I love reading; I don’t have much time for it these days.
- Add a conjunction:
- I love reading, but I don’t have much time for it these days.
- Rephrase with a subordinating conjunction:
- Although I love reading, I don’t have much time for it these days.
Each option depends on how you want the sentence to flow. I hope this helps!
