At first I thought I knew what run-on sentences were, but it turns out I only knew a small portion of what a run-on sentence is. As a kid writing papers I never thought to put any punctuation in my papers so as you can imagine yes it was all one long sentence. The period didn't come until the end of my paper. Teachers never said anything about it perhaps it was because i was young.
It wasn't until I hit the fifth grade when I started getting advice about them. They went as far as having me write papers with other students. As I got older and got a better understating of a run-on sentence I started having less of them in my paper until I thought that I didn't have any of them in my paper. Now it turns out after hearing this Grammar Girl lesson that I still have them in my paper there just shorter sentences. I read some of my previous papers and just about all of them have at least a few run-on sentences in them. That means that every paper I've done has had a run-on sentence in them all the way up until now, well at least I know now.
