A Run-on sentence contains two or more independent clauses with no connectors between them. If independent clauses are not separated into distinct sentences by a period, then they must be connected by a conjunction or by a semicolon. Eliminating run-on sentences from your writing will make your thoughts easier to follow and understand.

Example: Run-on: This is not such an elegant playground, still, the kids              love it. Corrected: This is not such an elegant playground. Still, the kids love it. Run-on: That dog is the one that helped me he still scares me. Corrected: That dog is the one that helped me, but he still scares me.

A Comma splice is a sentence in which two independent clauses are joined by a comma with no conjunction.

Example: It is nearly half past five, we cannot reach town before dark.
