Run-On Sentence Repair Fan

A run-on sentence joins complete ideas without suitable punctuation or a connecting word. A comma on its own is not enough to join two complete ideas. Read each repair aloud. You can use conjunctions such as and, but, so, because, although and while.

Blades 1–3: Spot and repair

Work through each blade. Check that every repair clearly separates or correctly connects the complete ideas.

1.In your own words, explain what makes a sentence a run-on.

2.This is a run-on: “The kererū flapped above the trees it landed near the stream.” Write each complete idea as a separate sentence.

3.Rewrite this run-on as two clear sentences: “Aria filled her water bottle she hurried to the netball court.”

Blades 4–6: Choose and compare

Try different ways to make the ideas clear. Read your sentence aloud and notice how the punctuation affects the flow.

4.Join these ideas in one sentence using a suitable conjunction: “The wind grew stronger / the kites stayed in the air.” Choose from and, but, so, because, although or while. Explain why your choice fits.

5.Connect these closely related complete ideas with a semicolon: “The library doors opened / the children chose their books.”

6.Write an original run-on sentence about a game, the weather, school or a story character. Then repair it in two different ways. Say which repair you prefer and why.

7.Compare these ways of joining two complete ideas: a full stop, a conjunction and a semicolon. How can each choice affect the connection or pace between the ideas?
