Rei R. Noguchi, in his book Grammar and the Teaching of Writing, recommends two methods for testing your sentences. Try these two tests:
- Turn your sentences into yes/no questions.
- Turn your sentences into tag questions (sentences that end with a questioning phrase at the very end—look at our examples below).
These are two things that nearly everyone can do easily if the sentence is not a run-on, but they become next to impossible if it is.
Look at the following sentence:
- My favorite Mediterranean spread is hummus.
If you turn it into a question that someone could answer with a yes or no, it looks like this:
- Is my favorite Mediterranean spread hummus?
If you turn it into a tag question, it looks like this:
- My favorite Mediterranean spread is hummus, isn’t it?
The first sentence is complete and not a run-on, because our test worked.
Now, look again at the original run-on sentence:
- My favorite Mediterranean spread is hummus it is very garlicky.
The yes/no question can only be made with each separate thought, not the sentence as a whole:
- Is my favorite Mediterranean spread hummus? Is it very garlicky?
But not:
- Is my favorite Mediterranean spread hummus is it very garlicky?
The tag question can also only be made with each separate thought, rather than the whole:
- My favorite Mediterranean spread is hummus, isn’t it? It’s very garlicky, isn’t it?
But never:
- My favorite Mediterranean spread is hummus it is very garlicky, isn’t it?
Unlike the complete sentence, the run-on sentence doesn’t pass these tests. When you try to turn the run-on sentence into a single question, you immediately see that the sentence has more than one complete concept. Make sure you try both tests with each of your problem sentences, because you may trick yourself by just putting a tag on the last part and not noticing that it doesn’t work on the first. Some people might not notice that “My favorite Mediterranean spread is hummus it is very garlicky isn’t it?” is wrong, but most people will spot the yes/no question problem right away.
