Correcting a run-on sentence  1. If you have two different sentences you can separate them with a period and capitalize the first letter of the new sentence. Ex. I went to the store to buy dog food. On the way to the store I saw a tree fall. 2. If you have two sentences you can combine them with a comma and and, or, or but to make a compound sentence. Ex.I like to make pies but they can get really old. 3. You can put a semicolon between the two sentences. Ex. I am going to the store; I am going to buy some dog food. 4. You can put a subordinating conjunction between the two sentences to make one. Ex. I bought some dog food at the store because, I ran out yesterday.
