OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

@ShadowCain

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

I think it's a run on only because there is no conjuction

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

i think its a complete sentence

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

k

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

run on.....you cannot use just a comma or you will have a comma splice. You would have to use a conjunction with your comma

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

because these are 2 complete sentences

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

so whats the answer @texaschic101

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

That's what I was thinking.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

run on

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

okay

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

be careful....these questions can be a bit tricky

OpenStudy (shadowcain):

It should be something like The dog barked constantly at the mail carrier, but he ignored it. Right?

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

yes
