4. I have decided not to go out with Tony anymore. First of all, he was late for our first date. He said that he would be at my house by 8:30, but he did not arrive until 9:20. Second, he was bossy. He told me that it would be too late to go to the new Steve Martin movie I wanted to see, and that we would go to a horror classic, The Night of the Living Dead, instead. I told him that I didn’t like gruesome movies, but he said that I could shut my eyes during the gory parts. Only because it was a first date did I let him have his way. Finally, he was abrupt. After the movie, rather than suggesting a hamburger or a drink, he drove right out to a back road near Oakcrest High School and started necking with me. What he did a half hour later angered me most of all. He cut his finger on a pin I was wearing and immediately said we had to go right home. He was afraid the scratch would get infected if he didn’t put Bactine and a Bandaid on it. When he dropped me off, I said “Good-bye Tony,” in a friendly enough way, but in my head I thought, “Goodbye forever, Tony.”

26. Correcting Run-OnsThere are four methods of correcting a run-on:1. Use a period and a capital letter to break the two complete thoughts into separate sentences.Ex: My grades are very good this semester. My social life rates only a C.

27. Correcting Run-Ons2. Use a commaplus a joining word to connect the two complete thoughts.Ex: My grades are very good this semester, but my social life rates only a C.
