Each sentence below contains two main clauses, but due to incomplete punctuation, the

sentence is either a run-on or a comma splice. Remember that a run-on sentence includes two
independent clauses without proper punctuation between them. A comma splice has an
insufficient comma that needs to be followed by a fanboys or that needs to be changed to a
semicolon or a period. Identify the error and correct each sentence by making one of the
clauses dependent or by using a comma, a fanboys and a comma, a semicolon, or a period.
He's tried many teeth-whitening systems none of them worked. (run-on, comma splice)
