Question
The road was covered with snow the government closed it for a while.
This is a run-on sentence.
- True
- False
Hint:
There are several ways to correct a run-on sentence: divide clauses into two sentences, insert a semicolon between the two clauses, use a comma with either a coordinating or subordinating conjunction.
The correct answer is 'True'.
A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses run together without proper punction or appropriate conjunction. 'The road was covered with snow the government closed it for a while', here two independent clauses are not joined properly, thus statement is incorrect.
