Grammar

Additional 'subjects' part 3.

Hi Everyone,

This is the last sentence I'll cut and paste in reference to my issue about fragmented sentences that show double subjects. I think the following sentence definitely should remove the pronoun - they - referring to the Kim's family members. Here is the sentence I just found online:


'There’s no space for the Kim clan in a unified Korea, his brother, cousin, aunts and uncles, they are inseparably connected with the regime and will be prosecuted as criminals.'


I think the sentence makes perfect sense if we remove 'they' from the sentence. In fact it's THIS type of example that I see often; almost every time I read a lengthy article online.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Emotion: left hug

Cup cake'There’s no space for the Kim clan in a unified Korea, his brother, cousin, aunts and uncles, they are inseparably connected with the regime and will be prosecuted as criminals.'

The error is that the sentence is a run-on sentence, with a comma placed at the end of the sentence instead of a period or semicolon. Removing "they" makes the grammar even
