What is a fused sentence?

A fused sentence, also known as a run-on sentence, occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined together without proper punctuation or conjunctions. This can result in confusion for the reader and make the sentence difficult to understand.

For example, "I went to the store I bought some milk" is a fused sentence because it combines two independent clauses without any punctuation or conjunction to separate them.

To fix a fused sentence, you can add a comma and a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, so, etc.) between the two independent clauses, or you can separate the clauses into two separate sentences.
