About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Strengthen your editing skills by identifying comma splices and run-on sentences, then selecting the cleanest correction. You’ll practice choosing between punctuation fixes (period, semicolon, comma + conjunction) and rewriting when needed.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can slow down and focus on why one revision reads best. Before you start, choose your question count and difficulty to match a quick drill or a full skill-building session.

Common pitfalls to watch for

Many mistakes happen when a comma is used to join two complete sentences, or when two independent clauses are pushed together with no punctuation. Another frequent trap is adding a conjunction without checking whether the clause is truly independent.

How difficulty is balanced

Mixed difficulty means you’ll see straightforward punctuation corrections alongside trickier items that require restructuring or recognizing dependent clauses. The progression stays varied so you build confidence while still getting challenged.

  • Decide whether you’re joining two independent clauses or separating them
  • Practice choosing: period vs semicolon vs comma + coordinating conjunction
  • Watch for “fixes” that create fragments or change the meaning
  • Learn to spot long run-ons that need rewriting, not just punctuation
  • Improve readability by breaking ideas into clear, logical sentences
