Run-on sentences can make writing confusing and unclear. For Grade 7 learners, this topic is important because:  
1. It helps students separate ideas into clear, complete sentences.  
2. It improves sentence flow using conjunctions like and, but, so, and because.  
3. It strengthens writing clarity in both academic and everyday communication.  
4. It builds confidence in editing and proofreading skills.
