Question

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

Our car has a small trunk, we couldn't fit the tents in it.
a. run-on sentence
b. compound sentence
c. sentence fragment
d. simple sentence
I think it is A :3

Answer 1

That is a run-on sentence because it is two complete thoughts only joined by a comma, which cannot join two sentences together. A semicolon would be a good way of correcting this.
