• You can correct a run-on sentence by rewriting it as two separate
sentences using periods or as either a compound or complex sentence.
You can also use a semicolon to connect the sentences.
• Use a comma before a conjunction to separate two independent clauses
in compound sentences.
• In complex sentences that begin with dependent clauses, add a comma
after the last word of the dependent clause.
Rewrite each run-on sentence as instructed in the parentheses. Add any
conjunctions or punctuation that is needed.
