Writing Good Sentences (Part 4) - By Smrt English
| 00:01 | a run on sentence is a sentence that is too | |
| 00:04 | long . Many of my students don't know when to | |
| 00:08 | stop their sentence and their sentences super long . And | |
| 00:13 | this is a big problem in my students . Writing | |
| 00:17 | a run on sentence usually has mawr than one complete | |
| 00:22 | idea . And if it has more than one complete | |
| 00:25 | idea , you have to be very , very careful | |
| 00:30 | . Okay , let's look at some examples . I | |
| 00:33 | called my mother . She was not home . I | |
| 00:38 | called my mother . She was not home . This | |
| 00:40 | is a run on sentence now . It's not very | |
| 00:43 | long , but this is a bad sentence because in | |
| 00:47 | this sentence we have to complete ideas . And this | |
| 00:51 | is bad English . Well , how do we fix | |
| 00:55 | a run on sentence ? Well , it's easy after | |
| 00:59 | a complete idea . Stop the sentence , just write | |
| 01:04 | a period and then start a new sentence . It's | |
| 01:07 | really , really , really easy . So let's go | |
| 01:10 | back to that bad example . I called my mother | |
| 01:13 | . She was not home . Well , stop the | |
| 01:16 | sentence . I called my mother period space . She | |
| 01:20 | was not home . Great . This is great . | |
| 01:23 | This is good English writing . Now . Now , | |
| 01:25 | another way to fix a run on sentence . is | |
| 01:29 | after your complete idea . Use a comma and then | |
| 01:34 | we have a space . And then we use a | |
| 01:37 | special word we can use . And but so or | |
| 01:44 | or Okay . So again , here is the bad | |
| 01:48 | example . I called my mother . She was not | |
| 01:51 | home . Well , we can fix this with a | |
| 01:54 | comma . I called my mother comma space , but | |
| 01:59 | she was not home . Now this is good sentence | |
| 02:04 | . Let's look at another example . The TV is | |
| 02:08 | big calma . It was expensive . This is a | |
| 02:12 | run on sentence . Now . This sentence has a | |
| 02:16 | calma , but it doesn't have one of the special | |
| 02:20 | words . And but so or or so remember the | |
| 02:25 | first rule . How do we fix run on sentences | |
| 02:29 | after your first complete idea , use a period , | |
| 02:33 | stop your sentence and then do a space and then | |
| 02:36 | start your new sentence . So the TV is big | |
| 02:40 | Stop . It was expensive or if you want to | |
| 02:44 | use a comma , the TV is big comma . | |
| 02:48 | So it was expensive . If you'd like to practice | |
