What is a run-on sentence?

A run-on sentence is a grammatical error that occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined together without proper punctuation or conjunctions. It is also known as a fused sentence. Instead of separating the clauses into separate sentences or properly connecting them, a run-on sentence combines them into one sentence, resulting in a lack of clarity and coherence. This error can make the sentence confusing and difficult to understand for the reader.
