Run-On Sentences and Comma Splices Brendan Curtin Chelsea Beabout Shrekka La’Vette

What Is A Run-On Sentence? Independent clauses that have not been joined correctly – An independent clause is a word group that can stand alone Ex: Santa Claus is a jolly man. Ex: Dasher is the best reindeer. Ex: Rudolf has a red nose. Run-on sentences are often compound sentences – Compound sentences are composed of two or more independent clauses. There are two types of run-on sentences – Fused – The Comma Splice

Fused Run-On Sentence A fused run-on Sentence is when a writer puts no mark of punctuation and no coordinating conjunctions between independent clauses. – Coordinating conjunctions: “FANBOYS” – A fused run-on sentence can be fixed with the use of a comma and a coordination conjunction. Ex: My cat lost her ball I don’t know where. Ex: I forgot to water the plant it wilted. Ex: My parakeet was hungry he didn’t have any food.

Other ways to fix a fused sentence – With a period Ex: The pen was out of ink I got a new one. The pen was out of ink. I got a new one. – With a semicolon Ex: The pencil broke I sharpened it The pencil broke; I sharpened it. – Add a subordinating conjunction and a comma to make one of the clauses dependent Subordinating conjunctions: because, although, if, when, after, while, until, before, since, as, unless, whereas – Ex: The bottle was empty I recycled it. Because the bottle was empty, I recycled it. – A dependent clause is a group of words that cannot stand alone. – Ex: Although Superman is strong

The Comma Splice Run-On Sentence Two or more independent clauses joined with a comma but without a coordinating conjunction. – Ex: Chelsea likes to eat cookies, she made them because she likes them. – Ex: Brendan hates sugar cookies, however, he will eat the cookies for the sake of the presentation. – Ex: Shrekka likes blue icing, icing is very sweet, Shrekka likes sweet things.
