Comma Splice

• Comma splices are like run on sentences but they have commas in them instead of periods. For example

We packed snacks juice ice cream and soda for the picnic.

The mistake in this sentence is that there is supposed to be a comma in between the words when they are being listed. This is the correct way to write this sentence;

We packed snacks, juice, ice cream, and soda for the picnic.
