By adding subordinating conjunction (such as after, although, because, or until), you can link a  dependent clause to an independent clause. Be sure to use subordinating conjunction that explains the relationship between the dependent clause and the independent clause to which it is joined.

Example:
Incorrect: The flowers are beautiful, they brighten the room.
Correct: Because the flowers are beautiful, they brighten the room.

Use a semicolon when the thoughts expressed in the independent clauses are closely related and you want to emphasize that relationship.

Independent clause+ a semicolon+Independent clause
Example:
Incorrect: The flowers are beautiful, they brighten the room.
Correct:  The flowers are beautiful; They brighten the room.

An independent clause containing a conjunctive adverb (such as finally, however,  meanwhile, otherwise, or therefore) must be separated from another independent clause with a  period or a semicolon.

A semicolon + Conjunctive adverb + Comma
Example:
Incorrect: The flowers are beautiful, they brighten the room.
Correct: The flowers are beautiful; therefore, they brighten the room.

Yon can spot a comma splice by looking carefully at your use and placement of commas. If  you see a comma between two independent clauses but no coordinating conjunction after the  comma, then you have probably spotted a comma splice.

# data[].attributes.body
A comma splice is known as a grammatical error or a misuse of commas.

A comma splice (or comma fault) contains two independent clauses joined only by a comma  (the coordinating conjunction is missing). A comma by itself cannot join two independent clauses.

Example:

Incorrect: The flowers are beautiful, they brighten the room.

Correct: The flowers are beautiful, so they brighten the room.

By reading them aloud. Listen for a pause or a change in your voice. That may signal that you are moving from the first clause to the second.

Read the following run-on sentences aloud, and see if you can hear where the two clauses in each should be separated.

The best way to find a run-on sentence is to determine whether there is more than one independent clause in the same sentence without punctuation.

Note: A run-on sentence is defined by its grammatical structure, not its length.

# data[].attributes.body
A run-on sentence (or fused sentence) is a grammatically faulty sentence in which two or more independent clauses are joined without any punctuation or coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS).

Example:
Incorrect: Jackson has never eaten chocolate he hates its smell.

Correct: Jackson has never eaten chocolate, for he hates its smell.
