Explanation:
We need to fix run-on sentences by splitting them into two separate sentences. A run-on sentence joins two complete thoughts without proper punctuation (like a period, comma + conjunction, or semicolon). The goal is to break each one cleanly—usually with a period—so each sentence has one main idea.
Let’s go through each one:
1. *We ran we walked.*
→ Two actions: “We ran.” and “We walked.”
✔ Already corrected in the example:
We ran. We walked.
2. *The teacher loved the lesson the students enjoyed it too.*
Two ideas: (a) teacher loved the lesson, (b) students enjoyed it too.
→ Split:
The teacher loved the lesson. The students enjoyed it too.
3. *My dog loves to eat we feed him a lot.*
Two ideas: (a) dog loves to eat, (b) we feed him a lot.
→ Split:
My dog loves to eat. We feed him a lot.
4. *I saw the car I love that car.*
Two ideas: (a) I saw the car, (b) I love that car.
→ Split:
I saw the car. I love that car.
5. *We stopped suddenly my brother was crying.*
Two ideas: (a) we stopped suddenly, (b) my brother was crying.
→ Split:
We stopped suddenly. My brother was crying.
6. *We have a lot of homework I need to get started on my homework.*
Two ideas: (a) we have a lot of homework, (b) I need to get started.
→ Split:
We have a lot of homework. I need to get started on my homework.
7. *My house is on the corner my neighbor is very nice.*
Two ideas: (a) my house is on the corner, (b) my neighbor is very nice.
→ Split:
My house is on the corner. My neighbor is very nice.
8. *She wanted to study for the test she has to go to practice.*
Two ideas: (a) she wanted to study, (b) she has to go to practice.
→ Split:
She wanted to study for the test. She has to go to practice.
9. *My gift was a new bottle of lotion it smells so nice.*
Two ideas: (a) my gift was a new bottle of lotion, (b) it smells so nice.
→ Split:
My gift was a new bottle of lotion. It smells so nice.
10. *I bought a large pizza for dinner I can’t wait to eat it.*
Two ideas: (a) I bought a large pizza for dinner, (b) I can’t wait to eat it.
→ Split:
I bought a large pizza for dinner. I can’t wait to eat it.
All answers use periods to separate the two complete thoughts—no commas alone, no “and” unless required (but the instructions say *two separate sentences*, so we avoid conjunctions).
Final Answer:
2. The teacher loved the lesson. The students enjoyed it too.
3. My dog loves to eat. We feed him a lot.
4. I saw the car. I love that car.
5. We stopped suddenly. My brother was crying.
6. We have a lot of homework. I need to get started on my homework.
7. My house is on the corner. My neighbor is very nice.
8. She wanted to study for the test. She has to go to practice.
9. My gift was a new bottle of lotion. It smells so nice.
10. I bought a large pizza for dinner. I can’t wait to eat it.
