Sara obviously named that one; she was a sucker for those old “Happy Days” reruns.

Semicolon (;) is a sentence splicer. Its job is to splice complete sentences together.

Comma SplicesThey were getting it, he had them.

(wrong)

 They were getting it. He had them. (separate with period)

They were getting it; he had them. (connect with semicolon)

They were getting it, and he had them. (connect with coordinating conjunction)

Comma Splices: ConclusionCommas aren't meant to join

main clauses all by themselves; to force them into that role is to perpetrate a comma splice. That's bad, but it's easy to fix.

Handout: Complete 1-4 by adding a coordinating conjunction. Create your own sentence with a comma and coordinating conjunction for 5 and 6.
