 D. Discussion

What is a run-on sentence?

● Run-on sentences happen when two or
more complete sentences combined
without using proper punctuation and
conjunction.
For example:
● I’m exhausted I can’t study anymore.
● Let’s go to the cinema I want to see the
new Marvel movie.
● My boyfriend took me out for dinner we ate
sushi
All three of these sentences are run-on sentences.
They are incorrect. We need to use proper
punctuation and conjunction to fix these
sentences.
None so far ma’am!
(Are there any more questions?)
There are two types of run-on sentences, fused
sentences and comma splice.
● A fused sentence happens when
independent clauses are combined without
any punctuation or conjunction to separate
them.
Fused sentences example:
● My teacher marked my paper she said it
was great.
Here we have two independent clauses. My
teacher mark my paper is one independent clause,
she said it was great is a second independent
clause. These are two sentences that function
separately and function on their own, so we can’t
just combined them without adding proper
punctuation, or a conjunction.
The other type of run-on sentence is comma
splice. And a comma splice happen when two or
more independent clauses are incorrectly joined
by a comma
 None so far ma’am!
(Are there any questions?)
For example:
● Mom went shopping, she needed to get
coffee and milk.
Many people will add a comma here instead of
period. And this is a mistake. Now i'm going to
show you four different ways we can fix run-on
sentences. But first,
How can you identify a run-on sentence?
● The best way to identify run-on sentence is
to check if there is more than one
independent clause in the same sentence
without punctuation and conjunction.
For example:
● Roger needs us in the conference room the
meeting is in an hour.
This sentences is fused sentences. The second
sentence is a comma, this would be a comma
splice A both of this are incorrect, so now let’s look
at four different ways we can fix a run-n
sentences.

(Can you give me some examples of run-on (Student opens his/her microphone and
sentences?) gives an example.)

How can you fix run-on sentences?

1. Make separate sentences.

● Roger needs us in the conference room the
meeting is in an hour.
● Roger needs us in the conference room.
The meeting is in an hour.
So now, we separated these into two independent
clauses and this is correct.

2. Add a coordinating conjunction.

 (and.or,but,so,for,nor,yet)
Make sure that the coordinating conjunction make
sense in the sentence.

Example:
● Roger needs us in the conference room the
meeting is in an hour.
● Roger needs us in the conference room,
and the meeting is in an hour.
Note: Remember to place a comma before the
conjunction when joining two independent clause
with a coordinating conjunction.

3. Add a semicolon if the sentences are

closely related.

● Roger needs us in the conference room the

meeting is in an hour.
● Roger needs us in the conference room;
the meeting is in an hour.
So Roger needs us in the conference room,
semicolon. The meeting is in an hour, the reason
Roger needs everyone in the conference room is
because they’re having a meeting. So these
sentences are closely related. So we can use a
semicolon and remember when you use a
semicolon you do not capitalize the next word,just
keep that in lowercase. Unless of course, it’s a
word that always begins with a capital letter.

4. Add a subordinating conjunction

● Roger needs us in the conference room the
meeting is in an hour.
● Roger needs us in the conference room
because the meeting is in an hour.
Now subordinating conjunctions are a bit more
powerful than coordinating conjunctions. And we
do not need to use comma in this case. So let’s
look at our other examples from earlier and see
how we can fix them.
- I’m exhausted I can’t study anymore
How could we fix this?
We just add a semicolon
- I’m exhausted; I can’t study anymore

- Let’s go to the cinema I want to see the

new Marvel movie.

- Let’s go to the cinema. I want to see the

new Marvel movie.

This example we just separated it into two different

sentences, add period.

- My boyfriend took me out for dinner we ate

sushi.
- My boyfriend took me out for dinner, and
we ate sushi.
For this one we just add the coordinating
conjunction. And remember to add the comma
before the coordinating conjunction.

(Student raised their hand and give

(Can some fix these run-on sentences?)
examples)

None so far ma’am!

(Are there any more questions before we proceed
to our quiz this afternoon?)
E. Application

DIRECTIONS:

F. Summary

“Very good! Everyone did a great job today!

Define run-on sentence: the definition of a run-on

sentence is two or more independent clauses
improperly joined together.

In summary, a run-on sentence:

● is improper grammar
● includes two independent clauses
incorrectly joined
● needs to be fixed
● can be fixed several ways
