Run-on Sentences
Has your teacher ever told you to stop writing run-on sentences? Do you know what a run-on sentence is? A run on sentence is a sentence that contains two independent clauses which have not been separated by a semi colon or period/full stop. For example: Jim is great at English he is great at French too. There are actually two ways to fix this run-on sentence: 1) Jim is great at English; he is great at French too. 2) Jim is great at English. He is great at French too. That was not that difficult, was it?
