1. Use a semicolon: This is the simplest solution if the two clauses are closely related in meaning.
* Example: *The storm raged all night, the wind howled like a banshee.*
* Corrected: *The storm raged all night; the wind howled like a banshee.*
2. Add a coordinating conjunction: Use words like "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," or "yet" to connect the two clauses.
* Example: *The train was delayed, it finally arrived at the station.*
* Corrected: *The train was delayed, but it finally arrived at the station.*
3. Create two separate sentences: This is the most straightforward solution if the clauses are not closely related.
* Example: *The dog barked at the mailman, he ran inside to hide.*
* Corrected: *The dog barked at the mailman. He ran inside to hide.*
Remember, the best way to correct a comma splice depends on the specific sentence and the relationship between the two clauses.
