Two common problems in writing are: run-on sentences that might be too long fragments that can be too short. run-ons need to be split up or rearranged sentence fragments need to be lengthened or reworded Copyright Copyright 2012

Run-on Sentences An independent clause is a simple sentence that includes a noun (subject) and a verb (predicate). It is a complete thought. A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are not properly joined. This example run-on sentence is called a comma splice, or two independent clauses that are only separated by a comma: Go to the store, get some ice cream. Copyright Copyright 2012

Three ways to turn run-ons into complete sentences: "Go to the store, get some ice cream." 1.Add a comma and a conjunction (and, or, but, etc.)  Go to the store, and get some ice cream. 2. Add a semicolon  Go to the store; get some ice cream. 3. Split the sentence into two separate ones  Go to the store. Get some ice cream. Copyright Copyright 2012

Sentence Fragments A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that is missing a noun (subject) or main verb (preposition). Sometimes a fragment has been separated from the main clause and can be repaired simply by removing a period. For example: There are many things I want for my birthday. Such as a game, a toy, and money. Becomes: There are many things I want for my birthday, such as a game, a toy, and money. Copyright Copyright 2012

More Ways to Repair Fragments Sometimes the order of the words in a sentence can be rearranged to make the thought complete. o For winning the race got her a prize. o She got a prize for winning the race. Sometimes you may need to remove a preposition o By driving too fast can get you a ticket. o Driving too fast can get you a ticket. Copyright Copyright 2012
