What are ways to correct a run-on sentence?
Split the sentence into two (or more) separate sentences. End each sentence with a full stop (a "period", in American English), and start each sentence with a capital letter.Alternatively, if the two component sentences are related, such that the second sentence is dependent on the first sentence in some way, they can be joined in a valid way using a semi-colon (";") or a colon (":"). In this case, the second part does not begin with a capital letter.For example, this is a run-on sentence:Run-on sentences are bad English, people who write them should be ashamed of themselves.This is really two sentences strung together. You could write them as such, with a full stop and a capital letter:Run-on sentences are bad English. People who write them should be ashamed of themselves.Alternatively, since the second sentence is really just a follow-up to the first, it makes sense to link them with a semi-colon:Run-on sentences are bad English; people who write them should be ashamed of themselves.

Capitalization and punctuation are optional when using single words or phrases in bulleted form.

Use a colon instead of a semicolon between two sentences when the second sentence explains or illustrates the first sentence and no coordinating conjunction is being used to connect the sentences. If only one sentence follows the colon, do not capitalize the first word of the new sentence. If two or more sentences follow the colon, capitalize the first word of each sentence following.
