Anyone good at English?
What did I do wrong in this sentence?
“Mine were snotty. Hate snotty eggs makes me feel sick. Hubby’s were perfect the time before though” |

Comma or full stop after “hate snotty eggs”

editing it in its current form, this would be a better structure:
“Mine were snotty. Hate snotty eggs, makes me feel sick. Hubby’s were perfect the time before, though.” otherwise: “My eggs were snotty. I hate snotty eggs, they make me feel sick. Hubby’s were perfect the time before, though.” would work Edited at 10:55 AM. |

The middle sentence is missing punctuation.
I hate snotty eggs, they make me feel sick. Is this what you are looking for?

I hate snotty eggs; they make me feel sick.
When it’s two separate clauses you need a semi-colon. So what you’ve written could be separated by a full stop into two separate sentences. If you add a comma it could make it a comma splice, but people accept this as ok. Commas are mainly used before: for, and, not, but, or, yet and so. A semi-colon could be used in place of because in your example. Edited at 11:05 AM. |
