What is a Run-on Sentence?

 A run-on results when two independent sentences (called “clauses”) are run together without correct punctuation. Described below are the different types of run-ons and the various ways to correct them.

Comma Splice Run-ons When two independent sentences are separated by a comma instead of a period, the result is called a comma splice.

Comma Splice (Run-on): Swimming is good exercise, I do it every morning.

• Option # 1: Add a coordinating conjunction (also called a FANBOYS conjunction: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So), along with the comma, to join the sentences. A FANBOY conjunction and a comma must come together to separate two independence sentences. Correct Punctuation: Swimming is good exercise, so I do it every morning. (Notice that there is a comma and a FANBOYS conjunction [so]) 

Incorrect Punctuation (Run-on): I still haven’t figured out Spanish and I’ve been studying it for years.

Incorrect Punctuation (Run-on): I have been waiting here for one hour so I’m going home. (Notice that there is a FANBOYS conjunction but no comma; this does not work.) The clause following the conjunctions in each sentence (“I’ve been studying it for years” and “I’m going home”) could stand alone as complete sentences. Therefore, a comma must appear before the FANBOYS conjunction.

Correct Punctuation: I still haven’t figured out Spanish, and I’ve been studying it for years. Correct Punctuation: I have been waiting here for one hour, so I’m going home.

• Option #2: Separate the sentences with a period. Correct Punctuation: Swimming is good exercise. I do it every morning. Option #3: Use a semicolon to seperate the two sentences. (A semi-colon indicates a close relationship between the sentences.) Correct Punctuation: Swimming is good exercise; I do it every morning.

 Fused Sentence Run-ons Sometimes two independent sentences are run together without any punctuation or a conjunction. You can fix fused sentences using the same options described in the “comma splices” section above. No Punctuation (Run-on): I hope to go to the movies this weekend there is a new one in the dollar theater.

• Option #1: Add an appropriate word (like a conjunction) to join the sentences. Correct Punctuation: I hope to go to the movies this weekend because there is a new one in the dollar theater. 
• Option #2: Separate the sentences with a period. 2 Correct Punctuation: I hope to go to the movies this weekend. There is a new one in the dollar theater. 
• Option #3: Use a semicolon to indicate a close relationship between the two sentences. Correct Punctuation: I hope to go to the movies this weekend; there is a new one in the dollar theater.

Sample Research  for paper on Inspiring Greatness

Antonina Zabinski loved animals and they loved her.  She had a talent with them. You know, one of those people who can whisper to animals and they respond?  Antonina and her husband Jan lived in Poland, near Germany in the early 1900 and they accumulated animals.  penguins, wolves, hyenas, peacocks, rhinos, lions and even a baby elephant--the first to be born in a Polish zoo.

Fairly soon it was apparent that they needed to formalize their love relationship with animals and they began a zoo   All kinds of animals, lynx, bears, lions.  She ran a zoo in Warsaw Poland and shortly after the war began and all the Jews in Poland were moved to a central part called the ghetto.
