C/S
Comma splice:
A sentence must have both a subject and a main verb in order to be complete, but it cannot
have more than one subject or main verb. A comma splice is a variety of run-on sentence that
occurs when two complete sentences, each with its own subject and verb, are joined mistakenly
by a comma. T here are generally three methods of correcting this problem: 1) Replace the
comma with a stronger mark of punctuation such as a period or semicolon, 2) use a
coordinating conjunction ("and," "but," "or," "nor") to join the two constructions, or 3) make one
of the two sentences a dependent construction by linking it to the other with a subordinating
conjunction ("if ," "when," "so that," "although," "because") or relative pronoun ("that," "which,"
"who," "whom," "whose").

Verb

T his verb may be incorrect. Proof read the sentence to make sure you have used the correct
f orm of the verb.
QM

Prep.
Incorrect preposition:
Some words must be used together with certain prepositions in order to create the meaning you
intend. For example, to yell "to" someone is dif f erent f rom yelling "at" someone. Some
conf usion results f rom words such as "compare," which usually takes the preposition "to" when
it ref ers to describing the resemblances between things that are not similar, and takes the
preposition "with" when it describes the resemblances between things that are similar.
