Answer 3

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum again.

To avoid a run-on sentence, you need a semi-colon (;) after "gaz" and in place of the comma (,). Another word for "gas" you put in the car is "l'essence." After the preposition "pour" the only form of a verb you can use is an infinitive = pour faire. However, since you don't provide the English of what you want to say, this may not do it.

For the 2nd, either "C'est" or "Il est" and the rest is fine.
