# Grammar sentence correction

#### You:
This year writing will be a major focus, it’s important to understand grammar rules. can that be a sentence in english or 2 sentences only

#### ChatGPT:
The way it’s written now —

> “This year writing will be a major focus, it’s important to understand grammar rules.”

— is **not correct as a single sentence**, because it’s a **comma splice** (two independent clauses joined incorrectly by a comma).

You have two correct options:

**Option 1 – Make it one sentence using a conjunction or semicolon:**

- “This year writing will be a major focus, so it’s important to understand grammar rules.”
- “This year writing will be a major focus; it’s important to understand grammar rules.”

**Option 2 – Make it two sentences:**

- “This year writing will be a major focus. It’s important to understand grammar rules.”

✅ **Correct answers:**\
Either of the two above (as one sentence with proper punctuation, or as two separate sentences).
