We wanted to raise money, our class needed a new computer. Is this a run on sentence or a compound sentence

it's a run on

Explanation:

you couldnt have the 2 sentences alone because it wouldn't make sense. Why do you need to raise money, you have to have the other sentence

The sentence can be described as a run-on sentence

Explanation:

The above-given sentence is a run on because it has two complete thought running together. For the sentence to be perfect there must be joining word that defines the second sentence to form a whole one sentence.

In general, when more than one complete sentences combined in a single sentence, they form a incomplete sentence. It is easier to correct a run-on a sentence by merely having them separately on connecting the parts to form one complete sentence.
