TOPIC: run on sentence NAME: Isaac Amador Date: 10/29/10 Period: 5 NOTES: Using periods (and other forms of punctuation) and knowing when to end a sentence are very important. If you don't end a sentence appropriately, the intended meaning can be changed, or it can be misunderstood. Sometimes the meaning is simply incomprehensible. The above sentences are all examples of two independent clauses forming run-on sentences. Sometimes three or more independent clauses are inappropriately written together, and the result is a very long run-on sentence. We suggest that in these types of situations, use a combination of the above methods. Take a look at the example below.

Review, also, the section which describes Things That Can Happen Between Two Independent Clauses.
 * 2) It is important to realize that the length of a sentence really has nothing to do with whether a sentence is a run-on or not; being a run-on is a structural flaw that can plague even a very short sentence:

 * They're** is a contraction of **they are.** Note the spelling: The **//a//** from **are** is replaced by an apostrophe. ||
