Talking about run-on sentences, we learned how proper punctuation is important in sentence structure. They are also called fused sentences because two complete sentences are being fused together.
Comma Splice was also introduced to us. Commas aren't meant to join main clauses all by themselves; to force them into that role is to perpetrate a comma splice.
Last meeting, we have learned how to fix them in several ways. We discussed using semicolons and coordinating conjunctions. Here are exercises on the said topic for us to answer. So,let us give remedy to each run-on sentence and fix those with comma splice.
