A run-on sentence joins two or more independent clauses without adequate punctuation or subordination. The two common forms are the comma splice, where independent clauses are joined by only a comma, and the fused sentence, where they are run together with no punctuation at all. The {{Run on sentence}} tag flags a sentence for rewriting.
Resolving a tagged sentence means rewriting it, not deleting the tag:
- Split the clauses into separate sentences where each stands on its own.
- Or join them correctly, with a semicolon, a colon or a coordinating conjunction preceded by a comma.
- Or subordinate the weaker clause, turning it into a dependent clause introduced by a word such as while, because or which.
Keep the house style: British English, no Oxford comma, no em dash. A rewritten sentence should read cleanly on the first pass.
Removing the tag without rewriting the sentence does not resolve it.
