A example sentence of asyndeton?

1 Answer

An asyndeton is a sentence that doesn't have a conjunction where you would expect it to be. A conjunction is a word that can put two independent clauses (or complete sentences) together. Some examples of conjunctions include the words and, yet, but, or for, and nor.

Examples of asyndetons include:

- The sun was shining; it was a beautiful day.

- The stadium was packed; it was the biggest football game of the year.


As you can see, the easiest way to create an asyndeton is to use a semicolon, (;) which can be used to replace a conjunction by connecting two complete sentences.

Hope I helped! :)
