Run On Sentences

A run-on sentence is a sentence that combines two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions.

You can fix a run-on sentence by adding a period, a semicolon, or a conjunction to separate the independent clauses.

An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence because it has a subject and a verb.

A conjunction is a word that connects clauses or sentences, such as 'and', 'but', or 'or'.

You can use a period, a semicolon, or a comma followed by a conjunction to separate independent clauses.

The correct sentence is 'I love to read. I go to the library every week.'

A period indicates the end of a sentence and shows that the thought is complete.

The correct sentence is 'She likes ice cream; he prefers cake.'

A compound sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses joined by a conjunction or a semicolon.

The correct sentence is 'I wanted to go for a walk, but it was raining.'
