A run-on sentence can occur when two independent clauses are connected in one complete sentence. Run-on sentences can come in a fused sentence, which is two independent clauses joined together with no sort of punctuation. Example of a run-on sentence (fused): I love to write papers I would write one every day if I had the time; the error occurs in-between “, I love to write papers” and “I would write one every day if I had the time”. To fix this sentence you would need to add a semi Colin in-between those to clauses because they are closely related. Run-on sentences can also come in a comma splice. A comma splice is two sentences joined together with a comma; Example of a run-on sentence (comma splice): Mike got tickets to the Michael Jackson BAD tour in 1989, and as he arrived he got hit by a truck and broke both of his legs while screaming in agony. The error I this comma splice occurs between “Mike got tickets to the Michael Jackson BAD tour in 1989” and “and as he arrived, he got hit by a truck and broke both of his legs while screaming in agony”. To fix this run on, we would need to add a period in-between the error and re-word it to sound like this: Mike got tickets to the Michael Jackson BAD tour in 1989. Unfortunately, as he arrived, he got hit by a truck and broke both of his legs while screaming in agony.
