Answer 5

K, so a sentence is a clause formed with punctuation and capitalization like this:
Hello, my name is Malcolm McSwain, and I love OpenStudy.
However, a run-on sentence combines multiple clauses without formal punctuation like this:
Hello, my name is Malcolm McSwain, I'm in ninth grade, I love snakes, my favorite subject is math, I am 14, and I also like to eat pies and I also love OpenStudy.

Answer 6

The formal way to punctuate that run-on sentence would be:
Hello, my name is Malcolm McSwain, and I'm 14 in ninth grade. I love snakes and also like to eat pies. I also love OpenStudy, and my favorite subject is math.
