ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Run-on sentence

A run-on sentence is like when you keep talking and talking without taking a breath or using any punctuation to separate your ideas so it makes it hard for someone else to understand what you're trying to say because it's all mashed together. Just like when you're telling a story and you forget to stop and take a breath or pause for a second, and it sounds like a big jumbled mess. So, when you're writing, it's important to use things like periods, commas, and other punctuation to help organize your thoughts into clear and understandable sentences.
