Rules for commas 

In English: dependent and independent clauses. 

Dependent clauses can stand on their own whereas independent clauses cannot.

• "but" is a coordinating conjunction and is always preceded by a comma when you have two independent clauses . 

Life is but a dream.

• "but" is not connecting two indpendent clauses here. 

Is this sentence correct?

comma splice 

This notorious mistake occurs when two independent clauses are being joined with a comma instead of a conjunction (but) or a semicolon (;)
