Run On Sentence Checker

The Run On Sentence Checker instantly flags comma splices and fused sentences in any text, showing exactly which sentences are problematic and giving you three concrete ways to fix each one. Paste your writing and get real-time feedback — no sign-up, no data sent to servers, completely free.

Who Is It For?

Students

Catching run-on sentences in essays, reports, and assignments before submission.

ESL / EFL Learners

Learning the difference between independent clauses and how to punctuate them correctly.

Content Writers & Bloggers

Ensuring articles and blog posts are clear, readable, and grammatically sound.

Editors & Proofreaders

Quickly scanning client documents for structural sentence issues before final review.

How It Works

Paste or type your text into the editor on the left. The checker scans every sentence in real time, detecting comma splices (two independent clauses joined by only a comma) and excessively long fused sentences. Each detected issue appears in the right panel with a badge, a quoted excerpt, a plain-English explanation of the problem, and three numbered suggestions for how to fix it. Use the arrow controls or the dot navigation to move through multiple issues.
