![]() ![]() So, a coordinating conjunction here, linking that. That is also a complete sentence, so we have a comma splice here, and our no change option. Automated banking machines became more popular. So in the late 1970s and early 1980s, however, more of the population had become comfortable with the idea of automated technologies. So let's look and see if we have two complete sentences, and particularly want, wanna be looking at the part that's joined in the underlined portion here. ![]() It's not super long, but you'll often notice the longer the sentences get, the more careful you have to be to be looking out for comma splices or run-ons, because it's a lot for your brain to keep track of. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, however, more of the population had become comfortable with the idea of automated technologies, automated banking machines became more popular. That connects this clause that's supposed to be connected, and it makes it all one sentence. Organic architecture, on the other hand, is not a style of imitation, because Wright did not claim to be building forms that were representative of nature. So, it doesn't work as a coordinating conjunction. Guess what? However is not one of the fanboys. Organic architecture, on the other hand, is not a style of invitation, however, Wright did not claim to building forms that were representative of nature. I see students want to pick this option all the time. We would need a conjunction, coordinating conjunction to make that work. Organic architecture, on the other hand, is not a style of imitation, and Wright did not claim to be building forms that were representative of nature. It just put a comma between two complete sentences that can stand alone. Organic architecture, on the other hand, is not a style of imitation, Wright did not claim to be building forms that were representative of nature. I'm gonna start from the bottom, answer choice D. Now, this one is a bit of a trickier question that I've thrown at you first, but let's go ahead and go through our answer choices, and see what we can eliminate. ![]() We don't use a semicolon with a conjunction, that would be overkill. And we can just put that in there and that fixes it. So semicolons are used to link two sentences that are closely related. Later this week, I will be going to the fair I go there every year. All right, let's look at the third way to fix a run on or a comma splice. It's not a complete sentence, so now we have fixed that comma splice, or the run-on that previously existed. All of a sudden, I can't stand alone anymore, although I go there every year. And now look carefully at this part of the sentence. Later this week, I will be going to the fair, although I go there every year. So here, we have this subordinating conjunction, although, here. Not a complete sentence, it makes it a dependent clause, instead of an independent clause. We can also use a subordinating conjunction, and what subordinating conjunctions do is make something not really a sentence anymore. So, later this week I will be going to the fair, and I am sure I will have a good time, so we have a comma, and a fanboy. There are seven of them, for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. FANBOYS is an acronym to help you remember what the coordinating conjunctions are. We can use a conjunction, and there are two types of conjunctions that we can use to fix a run-on or comma splice. Later this week, I will be going to the fair. We're just gonna put a period in there and then problem solved. ![]() The first is to make two separate sentences, that's pretty easy. So, how do you fix run-ons and comma splices? Well you have three basic options. But now, we just have two complete sentences just mashed together, just with a comma. There's some other fixes we'll talk about in a second. We need a comma, a conjunction, we use a semicolon. A comma splice is kind of a lazy half fix for a run on sentence, it just throws a comma in there, but that doesn't fix it. So this is a run on, we need something here to fix it. And then we have another complete sentence here, I go there every year. So a run on sentence has two or more complete sentences in it that have just been mashed together, with no type of punctuation whatsoever. Let's start with a couple examples of what run-on sentences and comma splices look like, and then we'll talk about how you can correct them. You are going to see these all over the test, so you wanna make sure that you are prepared to fix them. All right, let's talk about run-on sentences and comma splices. ![]()
