What is a run-on / fused sentence? A fused / run-on sentence is created when clauses that could each stand alone as a sentence are joined with no punctuation or words to link them.

Example for Fixing Run-On Sentences: The grocery store was really packed with people there must have been a big sale today. Correction 1: The grocery store was really packed with people. There must have been a big sale today. Here, the error has been corrected by simply breaking the run-on sentence into two sentences.

How to fix them #2 Example for Fixing Run-On Sentences: The grocery store was really packed with people there must have been a big sale today. Correction 2: The grocery store was really packed with people, so there must have been a big sale today. In this case, the sentence has been corrected by adding a coordinating conjunction and a comma. This is a compound sentence.

How to fix them #3 Example for Fixing Run-On Sentences: The grocery store was really packed with people there must have been a big sale today. Correction 3: Because the grocery store was really packed with people, there must have been a big sale. In this example, the sentence has been corrected by adding a subordinating conjunction and a comma. This is a complex sentence.

How to fix them #4 Example for Fixing Run-On Sentences: The grocery store was really packed with people there must have been a big sale today. Correction 4: The grocery story was really packed with people; there must have been a big sale today. In this example, the sentence has been corrected by adding a semicolon.
