Chapter 5: Run-On Sentences and Comma Splices All punctuation serves one primary purpose—to separate. To correct and avoid run-on sentences and comma splices, you need a good grasp of both in between-sentence punctuation (periods, question marks, and exclamation points) and within-sentence punctuation (commas, colons, semicolons, hyphens, dashes, etc.). 2

Chapter 5: Run-On Sentences and Comma Splices Take a look at between-sentence punctuation examples: 3

Chapter 5: Run-On Sentences and Comma Splices Commas, colons, semicolons, hyphens, dashes, quotation marks, and parenthesis all separate parts of a sentence from one another. The comma is the most commonly used punctuation mark and also the most commonly misused. When you do not insert punctuation and a coordinating conjunction between two complete thoughts, you create an error called a run-on sentence (sometimes called a fused sentence). 4

Chapter 5: How to Recognize Run-On Sentences Read each sentence aloud and place a slash mark when you hear a pause. The pause indicates the need for punctuation. 5

Chapter 5: How to Recognize Run-On Sentences Look for sentences that contain two complete thoughts (independent clauses) without punctuation to separate them. 6

Chapter 5: How to Recognize Run-On Sentences Look for long sentences. 7

Chapter 5: How to Correct Run-On Sentences Create two separate sentences. 8

Chapter 5: How to Correct Run-On Sentences Use a semicolon. 9

Chapter 5: How to Correct Run-On Sentences Use a comma and a coordinating conjunction. 10

Chapter 5: How to Correct Run-On Sentences There are seven coordinating conjunctions. Choose the one that shows the right relationship between the two complete thoughts in a sentence. 11

Chapter 5: How to Correct Run-On Sentences The following examples show how to use a comma and a coordinating conjunction to correct a run-on sentence. 12
