9. Sentence fragments

10. Sentence Fragments
A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate
The subject is who or what the sentence is about
The predicate tells what the subject is doing and includes the verb
A sentence fragment is a group of words that is
not a complete sentence
It can be missing a subject
It can be missing a predicate
Example: The really funny movie. (missing predicate)
Example: Ran through the mall. (missing subject)

11. Sentence Fragments To correct a sentence fragment:
Add a subject if the subject is missing
The excited girls ran through the mall.
Add a predicate if the predicate is missing
The really funny movie made everyone in the
theater laugh out loud.

12. Let’s practice Decide if each sentence is a complete sentence or a sentence fragment
1. Worked outside in the yard today. 2. My horrible math homework. 3. I love to swim in the ocean. 4. Went to see her new house. 5. I wish I could go with you. 6. Fifth grade is the best grade! 7. Hannah’s new car is orange! 8. Can’t go with you tomorrow.
1. fragment 2. fragment 3. sentence 4. fragment 5. sentence 6. sentence 7. sentence 8. fragment

13. Let’s practice
Now turn to “Fragments” and rewrite the six fragments into complete sentences with a partner.

14. Sentence variety

15. Simple Sentences
A simple sentence has exactly one subject and one predicate
Greta called me yesterday.
They can be short (as long as they have both a subject and a predicate)
John laughed.
They can be long (as long as they only have one subject and one predicate)
The tall, good-looking boy with the curly blond hair laughed loudly at his best friend’s joke.

16. Simple Sentences
In a simple sentence, the simple subject is just the noun part of the subject.
Example: Beautiful Josie went to the movies.
Josie is the simple subject because she is the noun that the sentence is about
In a simple sentence, the simple predicate is the main verb of the predicate.
went is the simple predicate because it is the main verb

17. Let’s practice
Turn to “Simple Sentences, Simple Subjects, and Simple Predicates” in your notes packet to complete the activity with a partner.

18. Compound Sentences A compound sentence is made up of two or
more simple sentences
If you remove the comma and conjunction (but, and, so, or) you have two complete sentences.
Greta called me yesterday, but I wasn’t home.
I went to Target, and I purchased a new shirt.
My mom loves roses, so I bought her roses for Mother’s Day.

20. Complex Sentences
A complex sentence is made up of a simple sentence and a dependent clause
Dependent Clause: a group of words that contains a subject and a verb, but does not express a complete thought
May seem like a compound sentence, but one of the parts is a fragment
When Jim studied for his test in the bakery, he had trouble concentrating because of the noise.
Although I like to go camping, I have been too busy to go this year.

22. Run-On Sentences

23. Run-On Sentences
A run-on sentence is more than one complete thought that lacks punctuation
A run-on sentence can be long
Example: The girl and her friend went to the mall then they went to the movies after that they went to the grocery store.
A run-on sentence can be short
She is a truck driver she is a mother.
When there is more than one complete thought, punctuation and additional words need to be added
Example: The girl and her friend went to the mall, the movies, and the grocery store.
Example: She is a truck driver, and a mother.

24. Run-on sentences To correct a run-on sentence:
Add punctuation (usually a period or comma)
and conjunctions (and, but, or) to combine sentences
Johnny is tall he is friendly he is stylish he is athletic.
Johnny is tall, athletic, friendly, and stylish.
Johnny is tall and stylish. He is also athletic and friendly.
Rearrange words, primarily adjectives
The icicles were melting they dripped into the
bucket below.
The melting icicles dripped into the bucket below.

25. Let’s practice Decide if each sentence is a complete sentence or a run-on sentence
1. Blue is my favorite color it is the color of the sky. run-on 2. We usually leave by 11:00 but today is different we are leaving at 10: I like Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but not Mondays. sentence 4. We should get going we don’t have time to waste.

26. Let’s practice Turn to “Run-On Sentences” and rewrite the six run-ons
into well-written, complete sentences with a partner. Then complete “Sentence Fragment vs. Run-On Sentence.”
