17. Run-on sentences ?
 Run-on Sentences
 A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses run
together without proper punctuation or appropriate conjunctions.
 To correct the sentence first examine the sentence for its clauses
that are making the sentence.
 Second decide what is the purpose of the sentence and apply
appropriate punctuation or coordinating conjunction (and, but, or,
so, for, yet, nor), a subordinating conjunction (when, while,
because, as, although, if, though, since).
 → Divide clauses into two sentences
 → Insert punctuation or conjunction
