Correcting Run-on Sentences

A run-on sentence is a sentence that runs into another sentence. Two or more parts of a run-on sentence can stand by itself. Interestingly, run-on sentences can exist in both short and long sentences. The length of a sentence does not determine whether that sentence is a run-on sentence!

run-on   Don rushed to the musical he was running late.
correct   Don rushed to the musical because he was running late.
    

Correct each run-on sentence.
