Definition
A run-on sentence is a sentence that combines two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions. It essentially strings together multiple complete thoughts into a single, sprawling sentence. It feels like someone talking without taking a breath. Run-on sentences can be confusing and difficult to read because the lack of clear breaks makes it hard to follow the writer's train of thought. To fix it, you need to separate the clauses using punctuation or conjunctions. Example: "I went to the store I bought milk."
