Comma Splice:
> The train was late, it was snowing heavily.
Corrected using subordination:
> Because the train was late, it was snowing heavily.
Explanation:
* Original sentence: The original sentence uses a comma to join two independent clauses ("The train was late" and "it was snowing heavily"). This is a comma splice, which is grammatically incorrect.
* Corrected sentence: By adding the subordinating conjunction "because," we create a complex sentence. The dependent clause "because the train was late" is now subordinate to the independent clause "it was snowing heavily." The subordinating conjunction "because" shows the cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses.
Other ways to correct a comma splice using subordination:
* Using "although": Although the train was late, it was snowing heavily.
* Using "while": While the train was late, it was snowing heavily.
* Using "since": Since the train was late, it was snowing heavily.
Remember that the choice of subordinating conjunction will depend on the specific relationship you want to express between the two clauses.
