im thinking its either A or B... what do you think? @KyanTheDoodle

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

A compound sentence has 2 independent clauses, while a simple sentence only has 1. This sentence seems to only have one clause.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its A. Simple Sentence

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Yes

Is the group of words a simple sentence, a compound sentence, a run-on sentence, or a sentence fragment? Walking through the park, the new trail to the hidden waterfall. A. compound sentence B. simple sentence C. sentence fragment D. run-on sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's D.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

No, this is a normal sentence. If this sentence had two independent clauses connected with a comma, then it would be a run-on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@KyanTheDoodle read it again this is not a sentence

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Ah yes. I apologize. I was getting confused with the first sentence you posted.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Although, it's still not a run-on sentence because these clauses aren't independent.
