Run-on Sentences 连写句
When a sentence consists of more than one clause, those clauses must be joined properly. It is never acceptable to hook two clauses together with a comma, as the "sentence" below does. That's called a run on sentence.
连写句:(错用逗号等)使两个或多个独立从句不正确地连在一起的句子
Wrong: Nietzsche moved to Basel in 1869, he planned to teach classical philology.
There are a number of acceptable ways to fix a run on.
1. Make two separate sentences:
Nietzsche moved to Basel in 1869. He planned to teach classical philology.
2a. Change the comma to a semicolon:
Nietzsche moved to Basel in 1869; he planned to teach classical philology.
2b. Join the clauses with a semicolon and a transition word such as however or therefore.
Nietzsche planned to teach classical philology; therefore, he moved to Basel in 1869.
Sentence Fragments 句子(成分)残缺
Every sentence must contain at least one complete independent clause. If there is no independent clause at all, or if what's supposed to be the independent clause is incomplete, you've got a sentence fragment.
