Read the incorrect sentence. Write three to five
sentences explaining what kind of run-on sentence it is
and how to revise it.
My mother and father are both scientists, it must have
been my destiny to become interested in biology.
This is a run-on sentence because the proper punctuation wasn't used. There are also two different topics in the sentence. It can be fixed by replacing the comma with a period and capitalizing the i in "it".
This sentence contains a comma splice. It has two independent clauses joined only by a comma. One way to revise the sentence is to separate it into two sentences by changing the comma to a period and then capitalizing the word it to start a new sentence.
