    Is the sentence fine? What is a true run-on sentence?

    Is it not ungrammatical to join independent clauses with a comma and without conjunction? What is a nonessential relative of the second sentence in your question?

    What happened to

    the musical scene? Are there any new slogans that are still relevant today?

    What are some examples of sentences where all sentences are in italics and you still have a grammatically correct sentence? You could use any number as you need to. What after a comma acts to give additional (but ultimately unneeded) information about a main clause.

    How exactly can you walk carefully

    up a staircase, taking care not to impact a sore foot?
    I walked down a hallway, cautiously avoiding its freshly painted walls. (Don’t ask me)
    Do I miss my friend?


    Past participle verbs work with other verbs of any tense, so claiming will always work (although you may need a helper verb along with it—such as were claiming, are claming or will be claiming) in some constructions.

    It doesn’t have to be claiming, but it can be. If you use something other than just claiming, you need to make sure it uses a verb tense that matches what’s used at the start of the sentence.

    Take your first alternative sentence. The musical scene was a maze of competing movements and slogans, and many of them

    claimed to be “new” in some way or another.

    The musical scene is a maze of competing movements and slogans, many of which claim to be “new” in one way or another. We could also take your second alternate

    sentence (which, unlike the first, is another example of the use of a relative clause) and change both verbs to the present tense.

    What are the advantages of going for 5-6 day hike?

    I would move away from the verb replaced, since it results in an ambiguous interpretation.

    Instead of using something synonymous with simple sentence construction, I added and substituted B. Although

    really, as a single sentence


    that describes everything, it should be a bit longer: I added and, in some cases,

    substituted B.

    What does my thing mean?

    While I feel as if it’s more common for each person to have that single “thing,” I imagine some people could have more than one “thing,” and refer to them in the plural.

    Is the question ambiguous over underlined trump assumption? Do people consider themselves to have only one thing?

    Why do I find some other aspect of the sentence odd.

    Why is saying “i like pizza” more common than saying “i like pizza”? ” Unless somebody is pointing out a specific countable number, it’s more often used as a mass noun and not a nutrient.

    Which article would it be easier to read in front of cosmos than not?

    What if we discussed pizza, unicorns, and the cosmos, which is ours?


    How do I keep my things under control: Pizza, unicorns, and cosmos?

    After how many “things” do we have, both sentences are correct.


    Is it possible to design a unicorn as a pizza?

    I’m famous in pubs for getting drunk and passing out. How can I stop these habits? (FOR the record, I am not… I am an identifier, and my… life.) In my mind and everybody else’s mind, these three things are closely related.

    Doing that at one time is my thing? What is this??? Goeing out, getting drunk, passing out. I do terribly! Why I have a sequence of events?

    How is pizza associated with unicorns and the universe? Not everyone has heard of the video where the context is not there yet.

    How would you explain the beauty of the cosmos without stating what is the mystery behind it? (Again for the record, I don’t..) As with the other example, doing that is my. one thing. We

    are married. We have two children. (They both love different things.)
