RUN-ON
A run-on sentence has
SENTENCE
two or
more Independent
Clauses

that are joined without


the correct punctuation
Here are some ways to fix a run-on sentence:
Add a period: Create two separate sentences
Add a semicolon: Separate the clauses with a
semicolon
Add a comma and conjunction: Use a comma
with a coordinating conjunction like "and",
"but", "or", "yet", "so", or "for"
Split the sentence: Divide the clauses into two
sentences
RUN-ON SENTENCE

Example 1: I love to write papers I would


write one everyday if I had the time.
There are two complete sentences in the above
example:
Sentence 1: I love to write papers.
Sentence 2: I would write one everyday if I had
time.
comma splice

One common type of run-on sentence is a comma splice. A comma


splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined with just a
comma.
Example of a comma splice:
Participants could leave the study at any time, they needed to
indicate their preference.

Sentence 1: Participants could leave the study at any time.


Sentence 2: They needed to indicate their preference.
comma splice

Some comma splices occur when a writer attempts to use a


transitional expression in the middle of a sentence.
Example of a comma splice:
The results of the study were inconclusive, therefore more research
needs to be done on the topic.
Sentence 1: The results of the study were inconclusive

Transitional expression (conjunctive adverb): therefore

Sentence 2: More research needs to be done on the topic


comma splice

To fix this type of comma splice, use a semicolon


before the transitional expression and add a
comma after it.

Revision: The results of the study were


inconclusive; therefore, more research needs to
be done on the topic.
try this

The flowers are beautiful they brighten the


room.
try this

The flowers are beautiful. They brighten the


room.
The flowers are beautiful; they brighten the
room.
The flowers are beautiful, and they brighten the
room.
REMEMBER

Run-on sentences can be divided into two types.


The first occurs when a writer puts no mark of
punctuation and no coordinating conjunction
between independent clauses. The second is
called a comma splice, which occurs when two
or more independent clauses are joined by just a
comma and no coordinating conjunction.

SENTENCE
FRAGMENTS
A sentence fragment is
an incomplete sentence
that lacks a subject,
verb, or complete idea.
Here are some
examples of sentence
fragments and their
correct sentences:
Missing subject
"Brushed her teeth and
went to bed" is a sentence
fragment because it's
missing a subject.
Mary brushed her teeth
and went to bed.
A girl with a yellow
backpack.
This sentence fragment contains a subject
(“a girl”), but it lacks a verb. We don't
know what the girl is doing, so this
sentence requires additional information
to make sense.
A girl with a yellow
backpack is running.
After we finish our work
We'll go to a movie after we
finish our work.
Macropuzzle Activity (PEI)
Directions: The teacher will choose a
topic (common sentence errors) for each
group to work on. They take time to work
in pairs. After that, they will write their
answer on a piece of paper , then present it
to the class.
