Question

Which sentence contains a comma splice?


The older I get, the faster time seems to fly by.


I wish I had remembered my jacket, it’s so cold outside!


After considering all of my options, I decided to take the internship.


I did not know what to get for my grandmother, so I got her some flowers.

Answer 1

"I wish I had remembered my jacket, it’s so cold outside!" contains a comma splice — two independent clauses joined only by a comma.

Fixes:
- Use a period: "I wish I had remembered my jacket. It’s so cold outside!"
- Use a semicolon: "I wish I had remembered my jacket; it’s so cold outside!"
- Or add a subordinating word: "I wish I had remembered my jacket because it’s so cold outside!"
