You got 10 correct out of 10. :D 1. All the stores closed early it was Christmas This sentence is correct. This sentence is incorrect. It is a run-on sentence. This sentence is incorrect. It is a comma splice. This sentence needs to be separated after the word "early", or should be constructed differently. 2. Since it's a new year, I'm going to exercise more! This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. This is a correct, complex sentence. The dependent clause is first: "Since it's a new year,". The independent clause is next: "I'm going to exercise more!". They are also punctuated correctly, with a comma after the dependent clause. 3. The results are in. Daniel passed his driving test! These two sentences are correct. These two sentences are incorrect. 4. It's getting dark; let's head back to the campsite. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. The two parts of this sentence are correctly separated by a semi-colon. 5. Although it's raining, we're going for a walk. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. The subordinating conjunction, "although", helps to form a correct complex sentence. 6. He's working late he's leaving tomorrow. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. We need some punctuation after the word "late", or else the sentence needs to be constructed differently. 7. They moved, I need their new address. This sentence is correct. This is a comma splice. This is a run-on sentence. These sentences need to be separated correctly after the word "moved", or else the information needs to be constructed differently. 8. I like pizza, but I don't want any right now. This sentence is correct. This is a run-on sentence. This is a comma splice. This compound sentence is joined correctly with the coordinating conjunction, "but". 9. The parking lot was full; We couldn't find a spot. This sentence is correct. This sentence is incorrect. This sentence looks correct, but is actually incorrect, because of a capitalization error. The word "we" should not be capitalized. In general, the word that follows a semi-colon should not be capitalized. The correct version of this sentence would be: "The parking lot was full; we couldn't find a spot." 10. When I get home, I'm going to take a shower. This sentence is correct. This sentence is incorrect. Using the subordinating conjunction "when" makes this sentence correct.
