Learn English – Comma or full stop after ”come on”

commasperiodpunctuation

I’ve always wondered whether you should put a full stop or a comma after come on.

  1. Come on, it’s just over there!
  2. Come on. It’s just over there!

Which one is right?

Both versions are correct. The difference is that in the former case, "come on" is an independent clause, while in the latter case it is a complete sentence. Neither is preferable.
