Question

Read the following options and pick out the complete sentence from them.

  1. It was raining heavily we did not have umbrellas.
  2. It was raining heavily; we did not have umbrellas.
  3. It was raining heavily. we did not have umbrellas.

hintHint:

A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses run together without proper punctuation or appropriate conjugation.

The correct answer is: It was raining heavily; we did not have umbrellas.


    Correct run-out sentences by dividing the clauses into two sentences by inserting a period between them, and by inserting a semicolon between them, if the two clauses are very closely related. And using a comma with a coordinating conjunction to separate the clauses. So, the correct sentence is 'it was raining heavily; we did not have umbrellas'.
