Avoid the comma splice, the use of a comma

without a conjunction to join two main
clauses that are not part of a series.

Give a sentence using that rule

Answer:

I'm thinking of eating a rice cake tonight; it's really delicious.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to put independent clauses together without using a conjunction or separating them into two sentences is to use a "semi-colon." This is being used in order to show relationship or connection between the two clauses. The two clauses above are:

"I'm thinking of eating a rice cake tonight" and "it's really delicious." These clauses have a logical relationship. Their thoughts are connected.

"I'm thinking of eating a rice cake tonight; it's really delicious" is an example sentence which has no comma splice and doesn't use a conjunction.
