Question

What kind of sentence is this:

Noah Webster supported himself through
sales of his spelling book over 100
million copies of the book were sold.

1.Properly constructed sentence
2.Dangler
3.Run-on
4.Misplaced part

We will start with the idea that this is NOT a good sentence.

Question? Does it have too many ideas in one sentence for it to make good sentence? If that is true ,then it is a run- on.

Does it have a modifier that doesn't relate to anything in the sentence? If that is true , then it is a dangler.

Are all the modifiers next to the words or parts that they describe? If not, then you have a misplaced part.

Answer 1

The sentence "Noah Webster supported himself through sales of his spelling book over 100 million copies of the book were sold" is a run-on sentence. It contains two independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunction to join them together.

Answer 2

The sentence "Noah Webster supported himself through sales of his spelling book over 100 million copies of the book were sold" is classified as a run-on sentence. This is because it contains multiple independent clauses (Noah Webster supported himself through sales of his spelling book and over 100 million copies of the book were sold) without proper punctuation to separate them. To correct this, you can break the sentence into two separate sentences or join the clauses with appropriate punctuation, such as a comma and a coordinating conjunction like "and."
