2)  Run-on sentences are really long sentences that do not have the proper use of commas, semicolons or colons and that can be interpreted in different ways.

An example of a run-on is:

     My friend and I went to the mall to buy shoes and we passed Adidas Nike Asics and New Balance but we couldn't find the right size so we do not know know what to do.

A run-on sentence is two or more independent variables joined incorrectly.


3) Compound Sentence: A compound sentence is a single sentence that combines two or more independent clauses with a conjunction. (FANBOYS)
     Examples.

   Complex Sentence: A complex sentence is a single sentence that combines a dependent clause with an independent clause.
    Examples.
