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. This results in a sentence that is excessively long and lacks clarity or coherence. Run-on sentences can be corrected by adding appropriate punctuation (such as a comma or period) or by using coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," or "or") to connect the clauses.
