Chapter Twenty-Five Run-On Sentences Prepared by Professors Rita Perkins and Paul Harris Camden County College

Run-On Sentences The Two Types of Comma Splices: Fused Sentences: They are fused or joined together as if they were only one thought. Comma Splices: A comma is used to connect or “splice” together the two complete thoughts. A comma alone is NOT ENOUGH to connect two complete sentences.

correcting a run-on is to How to Correct Run-Ons There are three common methods of correcting a run-on: Use a period and a capital letter. Use a comma plus a joining word (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) to connect the two complete thoughts. Use a semicolon to connect the two complete thoughts: Note: A fourth method of correcting a run-on is to use subordination.

Correcting Run-On Sentences One way of correcting a run-on is to use a period and a capital letter between the two complete sentences. Use this method especially if the thoughts are not closely related. Kristin plays the guitar well she hopes to start her own band. Revision: Kristin plays the guitar well. She hopes to start her own band.

Correcting Run-On Sentences Another way of correcting a run-on is to use a comma plus a joining word to connect the two complete thoughts. There are seven joining words (also called conjunctions). Kristin plays the guitar well, and she hopes to start her own band.

Adding a Coordinating Conjunction “FANBOYS” One way to remember the seven coordinating conjunctions is to put them in this order: For Nor And Michael plays the trumpet well, so he hopes to be selected for the jazz band. But So Or Yet

Correcting Run-On Sentences A third method of correcting a run-on is to use a semicolon to mark the break between two sentences. A semicolon looks like a period above a comma. When it is used to correct run-ons, the semicolon can be used alone or with a transitional word. Kristin plays the guitar well; she hopes to start her own band. Also correct: Kristin plays the guitar well; consequently, she hopes to start her own band.
