Transcript
| 00:0-1 | Welcome back to educator dot coms , English grammar course | |
| 00:02 | . This lesson is on run on sentences . Let's | |
| 00:05 | get started . All right , We're gonna begin with | |
| 00:08 | a brief overview . We're gonna talk about sentence boundaries | |
| 00:11 | , which are what create run on sentences when you | |
| 00:13 | don't have enough of them in the right places . | |
| 00:15 | We're going to do a brief review of phrases and | |
| 00:18 | clauses which are the building blocks of run on sentences | |
| 00:20 | and how to fix them . And then we're gonna | |
| 00:22 | look at the different kinds of run on sentences and | |
| 00:25 | how to turn them into correct sentences . All right | |
| 00:29 | . To begin with , boundaries , sentences need boundaries | |
| 00:32 | , punctuation and other techniques to break thoughts down into | |
| 00:35 | easily digestible chunks . Humans are easily distracted . They | |
| 00:38 | need their language , their thoughts in little bits . | |
| 00:41 | And so we used boundaries to break them down . | |
| 00:43 | Now , when there are too many boundaries , when | |
| 00:45 | it's broken down into pieces that are too small . | |
| 00:48 | Then the sentences end up his fragments , which was | |
| 00:50 | covering the previous lesson . When there aren't enough boundaries | |
| 00:54 | , sentences end up as run on , and they | |
| 00:56 | just go on forever because there's nothing to stop them | |
| 00:59 | . That's what we're going to talk about in this | |
| 01:01 | lesson , all right . First , we need to | |
| 01:04 | establish the difference between a phrase and a clause because | |
| 01:07 | that contributes to how run on or made Ah , | |
| 01:09 | phrase does not contain both a subject and a predicate | |
| 01:13 | . It may contain one or the other , or | |
| 01:15 | neither , but never both . So examples of phrases | |
| 01:18 | to the store . It's a prepositional phrase doesn't really | |
| 01:22 | tell you a lot . You can't walk , walk | |
| 01:23 | up to someone on the subway platform and say to | |
| 01:25 | the store , Sleeping soundly . It's got a verb | |
| 01:28 | , but no subject . Once upon a time again | |
| 01:31 | , no subject , no predicate and without saying a | |
| 01:34 | word . Another prep positional phrase doesn't have a subject | |
| 01:37 | . Doesn't have a predicate now . A clause , | |
| 01:40 | by contrast , contains both a subject and a predicate | |
| 01:43 | . It has something or someone performing an action , | |
| 01:46 | and the action that that's something or someone performs an | |
| 01:49 | independent clause , expresses a complete thought and can stand | |
| 01:53 | alone . I went to the store subject . I | |
| 01:56 | president went to the store . Complete Thought can stand | |
| 01:58 | by itself . A dependent or subordinate clause cannot stand | |
| 02:02 | alone . It depends on another clause to do this | |
| 02:05 | , which is why we call it dependent it depends | |
| 02:08 | . A dependent or subordinate clause begins with a subordinate | |
| 02:11 | in conjunction or a relative pronoun . Now we covered | |
| 02:14 | those in our lesson on conjunctions , so if you | |
| 02:17 | need a review , go back and look at that | |
| 02:19 | . Examples of dependent clauses are while I was at | |
| 02:21 | the store and who likes to go shopping the addict | |
| 02:24 | for information , but they can't stand by themselves as | |
| 02:28 | a independent clause . |
