difference between commas splice and run-on sentence | |||
* comma splice = | |||
** independent clauses combined by a comma and without a coordinating conjunction (i.e., "I ate, I slept" v. "I ate, and I slept") | |||
* run-on sentence = | |||
** independent clauses combined without any punctuation (i.e., "I ate I slept" v. "I ate, and I slept") | |||
** note that "then" is an adverb, so "I ate, then I slept" is technically incorrect | |||
*** correct: "I ate, and then I slept" or "I ate then slept" | |||
