Janet and a Run-On Sentence

Janet Jackson's new single is titled "Call Me" it features rapper Nelly.

This is a run-on sentence. It contains two independent clauses that are not separated by the proper punctuation.

The two independent clauses are:

  1. Janet Jackson's new single is titled "Call Me"
  2. it features rapper Nelly

These are some different ways to correct the error:

1. Use a period to separate the independent clauses into sentences.

Janet Jackson's new single is titled "Call Me." It features rapper Nelly.

2. Use a semicolon to separate the independent clauses within a single sentence.

Janet Jackson's new single is titled "Call Me"; it features rapper Nelly.

3. Use a conjunction to join the two clauses.

Janet Jackson's new single is titled "Call Me," and it features rapper Nelly.

4. Subordinate one of the clauses.

Janet Jackson's new single, "Call Me," features rapper Nelly.
