Question

Is the group of words a simple sentence, a compound sentence, or a run-on sentence?


The ledge was narrow, but one person could stand on it.

A.
run-on sentence

B.
simple sentence

C.
compound sentence
i have no idea what this one is

Answer 1

Okay.

Answer 2

As I said before:
run-on sentences are sentences that keep going when they should have periods within them.
simple sentences are sentences such as, I like dogs. You're not describing the dog or anything.
compound sentences are sentences that contain at least two independent clauses.

Answer 3

A

Answer 4

It's not a run-on. It says "but" which doesn't make it run-on.

Answer 5

I meant B

Answer 6

If it didn't have that conjunction, it would be a run-on.

Answer 7

B is wrong, too.

Answer 8

so what would it be umm i think it would be simple sentences

Answer 9

It describes the ledge, saying it was narrow. If it said "There is a ledge" then it would be, B.

Answer 10

what would it be if it was to discribe

Answer 11

Since we eliminated A and B the answer is C. It describe the ledge as narrow.

Answer 12

i know but on a different sentence if it was to desribe something what would that make it a compound

Answer 13

Yes.

Answer 14

Depending on your choices because sometimes a choice is "complete sentence"
