1A run-on sentence is a sentence that has multiple sentences/ideas in it. The reason run-on sentences

are grammatically incorrect is because they:
- are too many thoughts in one sentence.
- do not provide enough info.
- are overly wordy.
- do not use correct punctuation to separate the sentences.

Answer:

d) do not use correct punctuation to separate the sentences.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason run-on sentences are grammatically incorrect is because they:

  • The absence of punctuation
  • combining two or more separate clauses into one.
  • They do not indicate when the reader should take a breath.

For example:

Run-on:

My dog is drooling eating and putting her toy in the food bowl and my dog will go to the park today.

Correct grammar:

My dog is drooling, eating, and putting her toy in the food bowl. My dog will go to the park today.
