Understanding Run-on Sentences

Run-on sentences occur when two or more independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation or conjunctions. They can make writing confusing and difficult to understand. For example, I went to the store I bought some snacks. This sentence contains two independent ideas fused together without correct punctuation. To correct run-ons, writers can use periods, semicolons, or coordinating conjunctions. Proper sentence boundaries are essential for clarity and effective communication.
