Sorry And here's your shmoop dues you're brought to you

00:07

by run on sentences They're like the energizer bunny's of

00:10

grammar Check the following passage at least is our teacher

00:15

All this stuff for a conditional arm landscape motion and

00:18

one because so cubism expressionism run Go on You know

00:25

all these always a different style your important movement who

00:29

accurately represent and we're done All right What change needs

00:32

to be made to sentence fourteen and hear the potential

00:35

answers Okay well let's begin by taking another peek its

00:40

sense Fourteen rush chair Monet was an impressionist who explored

00:44

his subjects through color and all of his works had

00:48

a soft watery look Oh yeah something looks a little

00:51

off We can begin by eliminating d like a person

00:55

stuck in a dead end job This sense needs to

00:56

change an option A isn't the way to fix things

00:59

here Giving the words subjects and apostrophe s would make

01:04

it possessive But what exactly would it possess Anything There's

01:08

we need to keep the kama for clarity Sick The

01:25

correct answer here is option b We need to insert

01:28

a comma after the word Color the issue With the

01:31

original sense is that it's a run on We've got

01:34

two independent clauses that air improperly smushed together First we

01:38

have Monet was an impressionist to explored his subject through

01:42

color which is one independent Klaus then we have all

01:46

of his works had a soft watery look Well in

01:49

this case at least wasn't completely wrong She was right

01:51

to use the conjunction and here but to correct the

01:55

run on She also needs to put a comma before 00:01:57.879 --> [endTime] the conjunction By being around you must be exhausted
