A fused sentence occurs when two independent clauses are joined together without proper punctuation or a conjunction.
In the sentences provided, the fused sentence is:
"My dad doesn’t have a hobby he is too busy working."
This sentence incorrectly combines two independent clauses without appropriate punctuation or a conjunction. It should be corrected, for example, as: "My dad doesn’t have a hobby because he is too busy working."
