We named an independent clause which in a sentence hasn't been joined in a right way is run-on sentence. An independent clause can't stand alone like a sentence because it is a word group. We must put two independent clauses which appear in one sentence together. We can use one of these ways：(1)with a comma and a coordinating conjunction(and,but,yet,so,or,for,nor)(2)with a semicolon(or occasionally with a colon or a dash). Run-on sentence have two types. One of them called a fused sentence, this means there are no mark of punctuation and no coordinating conjunction between independent clauses. The other one is comma splice,this means there are over two independent clauses joined with a comma, and don't have a coordinating conjunction. Sometimes the comma appears alone in some comma splices.
