Why is it important to write in a clear and concise way?

Mastering Grammar: Run-On Sentences and Sentence Fragments are common mistakes people make while writing, in this lesson we will learn how to avoid them.

Run-on Sentences

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (complete thoughts) are incorrectly joined without proper punctuation or conjunctions.

How to fix Run-On Sentences

Use a semicolon or a comma with a coordinating conjunction (e.g., and, but, or).

Separate the clauses into two sentences

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that lacks a subject, a verb, or both.

How to fix Sentence Fragments

Attach the fragment to a nearby complete sentence.
