Best Answer

Run-on sentences occur when two sentences are artificially fused together in an improper way. For example the two sentences: "Take off your shirt." and "It's hot today." become a run-on sentence if you join them by the use of a comma (e.g., "Take off your shirt, it's hot today.").

.

These sentences can be joined correctly in many ways. One way is through the use of a semi-colon (e.g., Take off your shirt; It's hot today). Or you can use a word like "as" or "because" to link them together.

.

Take off your shirt, because it's hot today.

Take off your shirt, as it's hot today.
