New Video About Comma Splices

I just posted a new video on my YouTube channel. This one is about comma splices, which I think are one of the worst grammatical mistakes you can make. Certainly, you will not get above band 6 for Grammatical Range and Accuracy if you make this error in your IELTS writing test.

Here’s the video:

I also have a lesson about comma splices here. Related to that is a full lesson on commas.
