Could you please explain @krazykat ?

anonymous · Answer

a simple sentence has just one part, but if you see the coma with more of then sentence after it it is a compound. that means that they could be two separate sentences but they where combined.

anonymous · Answer

Its not compound its a run on because compound would have and, but , or yet before the comma its run on

anonymous · Answer

Hmm yes but to be a compound in my book it says that it has to have a conjuntion. I don't think that a comma counts as a conjuntion, so I thought it would be run-on...
