Connecting sentences!

 Hi again! 😃💜

Other important topics of grammar are transition words and run-on sentences.

When you are writing an essay or paragraph it is necessary to add some words or punctuation marks to connect all the sentences correctly. Otherwise, you can make the mistake of writing run-on sentences.

On the other hand, run-on sentences need to be avoided in writing because they appear when 2 different and independent sentences are connected wrong. 👎

Here you have some exercises! 😁👇
