A Quick Review by Mrs. Kiester Problems in Writing A Quick Review by Mrs. Kiester I should give him green eyes…. EDITING OR REVISING ? Editor i like thier Cat

A Complete Sentence Must have a subject and a verb Must express a complete thought Must contain the correct punctuation Subject + Verb = Complete Thought= Complete Sentence

FRAGS * Do NOT form a complete thought– * CANNOT stand alone- And the two little dogs in the yard. But, not after dark. After a very long day at the office. Because the snow kept falling.

Run-ons (R.O.) A run-on contains two independent clauses combined without proper punctuation (or two sentences in one). Example (comma splice/connected) The sun was peeking over the horizon, the new day was dawning. Corrected: The sun was peeking over the horizon; the new day was dawning. Corrected: The sun was peeking over the horizon as the new day was dawning.

Parallel Structure With the –ing verb (gerund) of words: Parallel: Mary likes hiking, swimming, and bicycling. NOT: Mary likes hiking, swimming, and to bike. With infinitive (to + verb) phrases: to run to jump

Parallel Structure Continued Not Parallel: The production manager wrote precise reports and turns them in on time. Parallel: The production manager wrote precise reports that he turned in on time. Parallel: The production manager wrote precise reports and turned them in on time.

Misplaced Modifier (M.M.) Adverbs, adjectives, clauses, and phrases that are in the wrong place Example On her way home, Jan found a gold man’s watch. The man was gold?! Corrected: On her way home, Jan found a man’s gold watch.
