Please help me to correct the paragraph about 'My dream house'

My dream house is a house in grassland, I will stay there with my grandparents, my parents and my sister. It is medium house with two floors. There are ten rooms in my dream house, four bedrooms, a kitchen with dining area; two living rooms, one for downstair and one for upstair, and the house has two bathrooms, too. The last room, I will use it as a storehouse. There aren’t any animals because my father don’t like them at all. But it will have a small garden because all members in my family like planting. We will plant some decorative plants and flowers.

My dream house is a house in grassland, I will stay there with my grandparents, my parents and my sister. That is a run-on sentence, which means that there are two complete sentences in one. It is also a comma splice, because you have joined them with a comma.

  • My dream house is a house in grassland, I will stay there with my grandparents, my parents and my sister.
  • That is a run-on sentence, which means that there are two complete sentences in one.
  • It is also a comma splice, because you have joined them with a comma.
  • "In grassland" doesn't work here because it is too general.
  • My dream house is a house in the grasslands.
