Run on sentence- A run on sentence is when two sentences are connected together without punctuation or connecting words (and, but, yet, etc.). Like the name implies, the words simply run together, because there is not the proper punctuation to separate the independent clauses (clauses that can stand alone). A run on sentence does not have to be long, and likewise, a very long sentence does not mean it is a run on. Run on sentences are also commonly called fused sentences.
Example- Adam is a sweet boy he really loves animals.
Correct sentence- Adam is a sweet boy. He really likes animals.
