Transcript
| 00:0-1 | thanks for tuning in to fixing run on sentences run | |
| 00:02 | on sentences are difficult to read and can prevent the | |
| 00:05 | reader from following your line of thought so they really | |
| 00:08 | should be avoided . This video will show you how | |
| 00:10 | to identify and fix them . So what is a | |
| 00:13 | run on sentence ? You can identify a run on | |
| 00:16 | sentence by looking for two things . The first is | |
| 00:19 | it contains more than one idea , and the second | |
| 00:22 | is it has no joining word between the separate ideas | |
| 00:26 | . If a sentence has both one and two , | |
| 00:28 | it is a run on sentence . Let's look at | |
| 00:31 | an example . Maths is a key subject in the | |
| 00:34 | curriculum . It is taught in various ways . What's | |
| 00:37 | wrong with this sentence ? It tells the reader to | |
| 00:39 | things that maths is a key subject in the curriculum | |
| 00:42 | and that maths is taught in various ways . But | |
| 00:45 | it has no joining word between the two ideas . | |
| 00:48 | Since it has both one and two , it is | |
| 00:50 | a run on sentence . So how do we fix | |
| 00:53 | this ? There are two ways . The first is | |
| 00:55 | to put a full stop between the two ideas . | |
| 00:58 | For example , maths is a key component in the | |
| 01:00 | curriculum . Full stop . It is taught in various | |
| 01:03 | ways . This keeps the ideas separate and makes it | |
| 01:07 | easier for the reader to understand . The second way | |
| 01:10 | is to add a conjunction or joining word between the | |
| 01:13 | two ideas . Joining words includes words like end . | |
| 01:18 | But although , and however , if you put one | |
| 01:23 | of these into your example sentence , it now raids | |
| 01:26 | . Maths is a key subject in the curriculum , | |
| 01:28 | however . It is taught in various ways . There | |
| 01:32 | are a couple of other ways to tell if your | |
| 01:34 | sentence runs on . Try reading the sentence out loud | |
| 01:37 | . If you run out of breath or turn blue | |
| 01:39 | , you probably need some punctuation . Or simply ask | |
| 01:42 | yourself how many ideas are in your sentence . Remember | |
| 01:47 | if there are two or more ideas but no joining | |
| 01:49 | word the sentence runs on . Try to avoid these | |
| 01:53 | by using short , sharp sentences . For example , | |
| 01:57 | maths is a key subject in the curriculum . It | |
| 01:59 | is taught in various ways . This allows the reader | |
| 02:02 | to follow your line of thought much more easily . | |
