Honestly, I was struggling to understand the structure of the sentences, but this video helped me a lot to overcome my misunderstanding of the sentence structure. Thanks.

Hi. I have a question. Why would you include “because” as a part of the dependent clause and not include “but” as a part of the independent clause? This was fun to watch. Thanks.
@Grammar-Monster3 жыл бұрын
Hi, That’s a great question! “Because” is a subordinate conjunction. It is part of the clause. “But” is a coordinate conjunction. It is not part of the clause. A coordinate conjunction joins two equal elements (e.g., two adjectives, two nouns, or - like in this case - two independent clauses). I hope that makes sense. You have a sharp eye! 👍

That's really helpful. Thank you. Can you split a run-on sentence with a semi-colon, if the two thoughts are related?

Yes, you can, but don't use too many semicolons. (They get annoying quickly.) Here are three scenarios when a semicolon would be a good option: (Scenario 1) When your two sentences feel like cause and effect. If you could merge your two sentences into one with a word like "because" or "as" (called subordinating conjunctions), then consider a semicolon. - I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; because had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes. (Playwright Edna St. Vincent Millay) (Scenario 2) When your two sentences have similar structures and deliberate repetition. - You don't pay taxes; they take taxes. (Comedian Chris Rock) - Write with the door closed; rewrite with the door open. (Author Stephen King) (Scenario 3) When your two sentences could be merged with a comma and a conjunction, e.g., "and," "or," "but," "for," "so" (especially "but," "for," and "so"). - Go not to the elves for counsel; they will say both no and yes. (This is acceptable.) - Go not to the elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes. (This is original text by JRR Tolkien. Note the comma and "for.")
