Asked by Lizzie

He hit the ball well, but he ran toward third base."

Could the sentence read

He hit the ball well and ran toward third base."

Why yes or no

Thank you so much.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Considering that he should run to first base after hitting the ball, it's more accurate to use "but" in that sentence.

Ms. Sue is right. The hitting and running are not simultaneous actions!

You could also write: He hit the ball well; then he ran ...
