How can I tell the difference between complete sentences and run - on sentences ?

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (also known as complete sentences) are connected improperly. eg. : I would write one every day if I had the time. One common type of run-on sentence is a comma splice. A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined with just a comma.

Explanation:

One of the easiest ways to tell is try reading the sentence out loud. You shouldn't be running out of breath reading a sentence. Another way is when there is a new point being made, or a slight change in the topic or subject, and there is a period, or comma missing, that would be a run on sentence.
