Winter is coming; I need a new coat.
Winter is coming, so I need a new coat.
Because winter is coming, I need a new coat.
The sentence structure of the original sentence is wrong because it is a run on sentence. The sentence has two complete thoughts/ideas without the proper punctuation between them. The first complete thought is "Winter is coming". The second complete thought is "I need a new coat." These need to either be joined with a semicolon or a comma and conjunction. The first answer uses the semicolon to join the two complete ideas into a compound sentence. The second correct answer uses a comma and conjunction, so, to join the two complete ideas. The last correct answer creates a dependent clause by beginning the sentence with "because". Then the comma shows the separation between the dependent clause and the independent clause.
An incorrect sentence structure is that which lacks appropriate transitions that connect ideas. Three revisions that correct this example of incorrect sentence structure are;
In the incorrect sentence, there is a run-on as seen in the fact that there is no symbol or conjunction to separate ideas.
In the three correctly revised sentences we see a good separation of ideas with comma slices, semi-colons, and conjunctions.
In the second sentence, a comma and the conjunction, 'so' were used to separate ideas.
In the first sentence, a semi-colon was used.
Summarily, the three options above correctly revise the sentence.
