Combining Sentences
We learned that good writers use a variety of short & long sentences.
Sometimes, sentences that are too long can be a problem.
These sentences are called
RUN ON SENTENCES!
A run-on sentence is 2 sentences joined together without any punctuation.
Avoid long rambling sentences with too many ands or buts.
Fix a rambling sentence by breaking it into smaller sentence.
Fix these run on sentences:
Have you seen my dollar it is missing.Have you seen my dollar? It is missing.
I thought I dropped it, here it is.
I thought I dropped it. Here it is.I thought I dropped it, but here is missing.
Where will it be safe I always lose things!
Where will it be safe? I always lose things!
