FAQ
What are the four main ways to fix a run-on sentence?⌄
Students can (1) split it into two sentences with a period, (2) use a semicolon, (3) add a coordinating conjunction with a comma, or (4) use a subordinating conjunction to make one clause dependent.
How do students decide which strategy to use when fixing a run-on?⌄
The best choice depends on the relationship between the ideas — closely related ideas may work well with a semicolon, while ideas with a causal relationship suit 'because' or 'so.'
How does fixing run-on sentences connect to CCSS writing standards?⌄
CCSS W.4.5 requires students to revise and edit for grammar, and correcting run-ons is a key editing skill that teachers address during the revision stage of the writing process.
