Keep going! Check out the next lesson and practice what you’re learning: A run-on sentence doesn’t separate any of its independent clauses with the punctuation that it needs, and a comma splice incorrectly separates two independent clauses with a comma, instead of a comma-and-coordinating-conjunction. Practice this yourself on Khan Academy right now: Watch the next lesson: Missed the previous lesson?
