We should avoid run-on sentences because it can often confuse your readers. An example would be: "I love cakes can you bake me one tomorrow?" There should be a period or semicolon in between "cake" and "can".
ReplyDeleteToday's class activity was helpful. I finally get the difference between a thesis and topic sentence.
I agree that run-on sentences would confuse any reader.
DeleteSabina,
DeleteI am delighted to hear that you were able to gain a better understanding of the Writing Process from today's activities. Keep up the great work! :D
Glad to hear the class helped you out!
DeleteI totally agree with you sis run-on sentences should be left alone. we should never use it on writing a sentence or paragraph or even an essay. its nice that the class helps us in something we didn't know
DeleteYep, you got it right it can be confusing and its a habit we gotta avoid. Good example to show case.
DeleteYep, i agree with your comment.
DeleteThe reason why we should avoid run-on sentences is because it would not be formal. When we speak, one does not simply said "period" after his/her sentence. We speak continuously, but with necessary pauses and changes of tone. In writing, the structure must be precise and organized. Run-on sentences will not look appealing to read.
ReplyDeleteToday's activities in class served as a refresher for topic sentences, and also another good day for classification.
Well said Kris! I am sure that you have no problem in avoiding the use of run-on sentences. I am glad you enjoyed today's activities. (:
DeleteI agree that this class was a refresher.
Deleteright on bro... I agree with you on this run-on sentences usually confuses the reader because he/she doesn't usually knows what you are talking about..
DeleteYes man, these run-on are just not right and appealing to read,but hey, we just gotta learn to avoid it, right?
DeleteNice explanation, it is true the talking and writing are different things.
Deletewell said man, i agree about the run on sentences. it usually does confuse the reader.
DeleteBy avoiding the use of run-on sentences, you are able to portray to your readers along with to other people that you are capable of forming complete sentences and/or thoughts. You are able to convey to your readers that you are an intelligent human being. Run-on sentences only confuse readers so it is best to avoid using it at any cost.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the activities conducted in today's instructional period were but just refreshers, I still had fun doing them. Any time spent with the class is a blissful moment! :D
I agree that run-on sentences should be avoided at all cost.
DeleteI totally agree with you sis run-on sentences should be left alone. we should never use it on writing a sentence or paragraph or even an essay.
DeleteWell said,they really do confuse the readers
DeleteRun-on sentences are really confusing. We should really avoid it.
DeleteYes as a writer, your goal is to create a formal passage. :)
Deletei agree run on sentences should be avoided.
DeleteRun-on's should be avoided cause the readers will get confused and read it wrong. Speaking is different than talking so we need to put periods with each different sentence.
ReplyDeleteToday's was just merely refreshers but it helps because I kind of forgot about them.
right on bro... I agree with you on this run-on sentences usually confuses the reader because he/she doesn't usually knows what you are talking about..
DeleteI could not agree with you more John; speaking or should I say writing is definitely different from talking. I am glad that you were able to differentiate over the two. Great job! :D
DeleteTalking and writing are different. We should put periods to avoid run-on sentences.
DeleteWe should avoid using run-on sentences because it always confuses the reader and it usually don't make sense. The class activities for today was kind of helpful to us when writing a paragraph or an essay. the three stages really helps us organize our writing and makes it easier for us to write with organization of what we are going to say.
ReplyDeleteThe class activity was fun. It was helpful to refresh our memory.
DeleteYes, I agree it helps us become organized.
DeleteRun-on sentences confuses reader when reading. Avoiding run-on sentences should help reader understand sentences clearly and better.
ReplyDeleteToday's activity is helpful. It refresh my memory about the main ideas for the essay.
I'm glad it refreshed your memory.
DeleteRun-on sentences is one of my common mistakes on my paper. Mainly, because i usually write as i speak. In my years writing essays, I avoid a lot of combining sentences. I learned that it is better to separate the long sentence in to two parts.
ReplyDeleteIn today's activity, it helped me refreshed my memories. It helped a lot because, I have a habit of not remembering.
Run-On sentences should be avoided for they are how would you informal. And can or may confuse the readers. it might even mislead the readers. when speaking our tone changes so you would say the run-on hides behind a mask if you could put it like that. but when reading it for yourself you can notice it so it is important to avoid it. As for the reading we did in class, it was good and interesting as always it is great to study and learn newer things.
ReplyDeleteNice use of metaphor there Lusech! I thought it was very clever. Thank you for sharing your views with us. (:
