Fragments and Run-ons

Fragments  A group of words that does not express a complete thought and is NOT a complete sentence.  Examples:  At the end of a long path (phrase fragment)  The boy wearing the green shirt (clause fragment)  A pen, some notes, and a dictionary (series fragment)

Check Your Understanding Directions: Decide whether each clause is a fragment or a complete sentence. 1. With her sister. 2. The dog with the blue collar. 3. Sam ate twelve hotdogs. 4. Amy ate three. 5. The cat walked with John. 6. Several amazing words. 7. And we went to the car. 8. I cried.

Run-on Sentences  Run-on sentences consist of two or more independent clauses that are not properly joined or punctuated.  Example:  We made an offer, they rejected it. (comma splice)

 Two independent clauses are joined correctly in the following ways:  Comma + Conjunction (and, but, or, for, nor, so)  EX. We made an offer, and they rejected it.  Semicolon  Ex. We made an offer; they rejected it.  Semicolon + Conjunctive Adverb + Comma  We made an offer; however, they rejected it. Or….  Change the run-on into two sentences. We made an offer. They rejected it.
