Wishing to improve your writing? The Business Communication Lab recommends that you following these helpful tips. This week's tip is centered on run-on sentences.
Run-on sentences are one of the most common problems in writing. Because popular word processors like Microsoft Word and Google Docs can overlook these mistakes, you need to understand the elements of a sentence to avoid them.
All complete sentences contain at least one independent clause
An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete idea. When you have two independent clauses in the same sentence, a comma alone is insufficient to connect them.
Ex. “Laticia wrote the report.”
