I had no idea what the difference was between a run-on sentence and a fragment! Because this lesson was so detailed, I have a clear understanding! 👍

[@savannahedmondsonklump5504]

Well... now I know I only speak/write in fragments and run ons 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Yassamine200]

Does predicate is verb ??

[@kspaans]

A predicate *contains* a verb, but the two are not exactly the same thing! A verb is a single, individual word. Take a look at the following sentence:
"My brother's dog ate my homework."
The complete predicate is "ate my homework." The simple predicate is "ate." And the word "ate" is a verb.
Let's look at one more:
"Yesterday, my sister celebrated her twentieth birthday."
The complete predicate is "celebrated her twentieth birthday." The simple predicate is "celebrated." And the word "celebrated" is a verb.
I hope this makes sense!

[@Yassamine200]

@kspaans really tank you. I understand it very well😊😊❤️

[@beybladesplash8197]

u cool

[@PHILOMATH09]

If the coma is present b/w two independent sentences then we called this a coma splice

[@kspaans]

Exactly!

[@waelhe3692]

How about this senteces, "They will try to make you unhappy, don't let them. They will try to tell you you're not free, don't listen." Are these sentences not run on?

[@kspaans]

Hey there! Because commands (sometimes called imperative statements) are technically considered sentences, yes, those would be run-ons. The proper punctuation would look something like this:
"They will try to make you unhappy. Don't let them. They will try to tell you you're not free. Don't listen." Alternatively, you could write, "They will try to make you unhappy; don't let them. They will try to tell you you're not free; don't listen."
Either way, commands like "Don't let them" and "Don't listen" are, in fact, sentences--so they need to have proper sentence boundaries.
I hope this helps!
