Unit 1 Lesson 6: Fragments and Run-ons Page 51

Fragments If a group of words does not have a subject and a predicate, it is a sentence fragment. Fragment examples: Learned about American politicians. Yvonne and Bruce. In his history book. For example, Jeanette Rankin. The first woman member of Congress.

You can correct fragments by adding a subject or a predicate Yvonne’s class learned about American politicians. Yvonne and Bruce wrote a report about Shirley Chisholm. Bruce had read about Shirley Chisholm in his history book. They were also interested in other women legislators, for example, Jeanette Rankin. In 1918 she became the first woman member of Congress.

“Try it out” Please do numbers 1-5 in your notes.

Run-on sentences Two or more sentences that run together without the correct punctuation form a run-on sentence. You can correct run-on sentences by: 1. Separate two or more thoughts by making them separate sentences. 2. Add a conjunction. 3. both 1 and 2.

Please try to correct numbers 6-8 in your notes. Then we will go over them. Remember: a sentence fragment does not express a complete thought. Add a subject, predicate, or both. A run-on sentence expresses too many thoughts without correct punctuation. Correct a run-on by creating two separate sentences, adding a conjunction, or both.

Compound sentences A compound sentence joins two simple sentences with a conjunction such as and, but, or or. Use a comma to separate the parts of a compound sentence.

A complex sentence Sometimes you can join two short sentences with a subordinating conjunction, like although, because, until, or when The new sentence is called a complex sentence. For example, “Jeff won the election last year because he had the best ideas.”

Now do 9-16 on page 53. Remember: it is due before our next Grammar period.
