When a sentence ends too quickly, it is called a [|sentence fragment]. The first thing you need to do is identify when a sentence is a run-on.

It is okay to combine two sentences into one, but you must follow some rules. You might be wondering: "What is a sentence?" A sentence consists of 3 things:
