 * NOTES: ||

If those two sentences that doesn't have to be joined together are added together, they form an incorrect sentence. Those sentences may be missing a comma, or a period, sometimes possibly grammar like comma splices.

To solve a run-on sentence, you must add a comma, or a period, to the sentence. But that's not all, they could probably have grammar issues too.

A run-on sentence is formed when two independent sentences are joined together without the proper conjunction and other grammatical errors. Some run-on sentences an be as short as "He sleeps she stays up", or sometimes as low as 4 words.

You can also have a sentence that is correct run-on wise with 256 words in the sentence.



Their would be used as a possessive word. It would mean that the person owns it. "that’s their property so don’t go over there"
 * SUMMARY: Run-on sentences are errors in sentences that are common. They would be missing something such as periods, commas, or a few words to join the two independent sentences (also known as complete sentences) together. Joining the two sentences together can be fixed with "we", but that isn't always the case. You could probably forget transition words in the sentences too. One example could be something like, "He walked she ran". The correct sentence would possibly be "He walked //and// she ran." ||

 * -WHAT ARE THE DIFFRENCES BETWEEN

Why is it important to know the differences? And why do I have to know them?

How would I use "their" in the correct way || -(their) is used when you are talking about a person or something of someone's…. ex: " that’s __their__ dog scout " their- is a possessive adjective -(there) this "there" is used when its referd to a place ex: " my car is over there " there- refer to a place - (they're) is used when you are trying to say "they are" but in a one word way ex: " they're outside playing hopscotch " they're- means **" they are"**

It is important to know the different meanings in " THEIR, THERE, THEY'RE" because when you write a paper and you write whatever type of "THEIR , THERE , THEY'RE " is because… 1. you will get it wrong 2. it wont make sense

"that’s their property so don’t go over there" ||
