Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the run-on sentences. A run-on sentence happens when two or more complete thoughts are stuck together without proper punctuation or connecting words. We’ll break them up or add commas and conjunctions to make them clear.

1. Through our window, we saw a large bird land on the tree in front of our house. It was a bald eagle! We ran outside to get a closer look.
✔ This is already correct! The original had three ideas mashed together. Now it’s split into three short, clear sentences. Good job!

2. Because I forgot my lunch at home, I asked my friend if I could buy something from the cafeteria. She said yes, so I went with her.
✔ Also fixed correctly! The first part explains why you asked, and the second part tells what happened next. Adding “so” connects the two ideas smoothly.

3. After he finished painting the fence, he went inside to clean up his brushes and put them away. Then he sat down to rest because he was tired from all the work.
✔ Perfect! The original was one long sentence. Now it’s broken into two: one about cleaning up, and one about resting. The word “because” helps explain why he rested.

All three answers are now grammatically correct and easy to read. You did great fixing those run-ons!
