Look at the examples of comma splices. Either use one of the conjunctions, or a semi colon in the box below to correct the splice. (There may be more than one correct answer). and but though because as ;

1 I enjoy watching films, I don’t like violent ones.

2 John has to go home early, his mother is ill.

3 The mountain is high, it’s not the highest one in the lake district.

4 My name is Rachel, I live in Clapton.

5 I better get home in time for Eastenders, it’s my favourite soap opera.

6 I’m going to have a picnic, it’s a very sunny day.

7 The student likes the classes, he can’t come every day.

8 She had to go to hospital, she had broken her leg, it was really painful

Explanation:

I don't like using what you have been given. Question 1 should have a period after films. You changed to an entirely different thought.

2. I would use a semicolon. The thoughts connect and you could use  "because," but the semicolon works better I think. These are pretty marginal questions.

3. But after high. Perhaps the comma is fine.

4. Again a period after Rachel.

5. Because after Easteners. A semi colon might be better. A period might work best of all.

6. Period after picnic. A colon would do as well. You could use because as well.

7. Here again, a period would work best. They are two separate thoughts.

8. Period after hospital. I'd use a colon, but if you can't, use a semicolon.

i guess you are missing the idea that has to be supported, am i right?
