A run-on sentence.
Yes, a run-on sentence can have a conjunction. A run-on sentence typically occurs when two or more independent clauses are not properly separated or punctuated. Adding a conjunction without proper punctuation can result in a run-on sentence. However, if a coordinating conjunction like "and," "but," or "or" is followed by a comma or a semicolon, it helps to properly connect the independent clauses and avoid a run-on sentence.
A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma without a coordinating conjunction. To identify a comma splice, look for sentences where two standalone thoughts are separated only by a comma. This error disrupts the flow of the sentence and is best corrected by either adding a coordinating conjunction or using a stronger punctuation mark like a semicolon or period.
A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
No, the word "and" should not follow a semicolon. Semicolons are used to separate independent clauses; if you want to include "and," it would typically be used within one of the independent clauses separated by the semicolon.
A compound sentence often consists of two independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
If you combine two independent clauses (two sentences) into one sentence, you need to use a comma and a conjunction. Right: I am hungry, and I am tired. Right: I am hungry, but I am not going to eat. Wrong: I am hungry and I am cold. Wrong: I am hungry, I am cold. You could also use a semicolon if the two thoughts are closely related. If you use a semicolon, do not use a conjunction. Right: I am hungry; I am going to eat. Wrong: I am hungry; and I am going to eat.
No, it is called a correlative conjunction. These are identifiable because they are separated in the sentence that uses them. Other correlative (paired) conjunctions are either-or and neither-nor.
A compound sentence combines two independent clauses with a comma and a coordinating conjunction, such as "and," "but," or "so." It is a way to express two related ideas in a single sentence.
A conjunction connects two or more of the same parts of speech, or two phrases, or two clauses.bread and butterskipped and jumpedtall and thinof the people and by the peoplehe arrived and she leftI threw the ball and he caught itWhen connecting clauses, conjunctions can be coordinating (connecting independent clauses) or subordinating (connecting a dependent clause to an independent clause.The 7 coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS).Common subordinating conjunctions include after, although, because, before, if, since, unless, until, and when. The coordinating conjunction for can act as a subordinating conjunction when it means because.There are correlative conjunctions that consist of separated words or groups of words: either-or, neither-nor, not only-but also.

In formal writing a comma is not to be used two join two independent clauses. If comma is used between two sentences consisting of independent clauses it is known as comma splice. Two sentences formed by independent clauses should always be joined by a co-ordinate conjunction or a short punctuation mark such as semicolon if the sentences are closely related.
A run-on sentence is a type of poorly-structured sentence in which a lack of proper punctuation makes two separate independent clauses (sentences) appear to be one.Sentences need to be separated by a period (full stop) or a semicolon. If they are separated by a comma, or by nothing at all, you have a run-on sentence.Examples:"I had to read a book it was long." (Correct: I had to read a book; it was long.)"He went to the store, they were out of tomatoes."(This type of run-on is called a comma splice. The comma either has to be replaced with a semicolon, as in the above example, or you would need to add a conjunction such as 'but' or 'and' to turn the second part into a dependent clause: "He went to the store, but they were out of tomatoes.")
