Unit II: Avoiding Major Sentence Errors

Run-On Sentences & Comma Splices

Choose Guidelines for a discussion of what constitutes run-on or fused sentences and comma splices, along with four options for fixing them. The Activities page lists the activities you should do once you have read through the Guidelines. The Extended Learning Center provides the videos and books you will need to complete these activities. The online tutorial, MySkills Lab, provides additional practice. When you have read the guidelines and completed the assigned activities, take the practice test for Run-On Sentences & Comma Splices.
