3. Complete Sentences
• A complete sentence has a subject and a
predicate that work together to make a
complete thought.
Bobby smiled until he
thought his face would
crack.

4. Sentence Fragments
• A SENTENCE FRAGMENT fails to be a sentence
in the sense that it cannot stand by itself.

5. Sentence Fragments
• may locate something in time and place,
but lack a subject-verb relationship.
Last Saturday after the ballgame
at the ice cream shop.

6. Sentence Fragments
• may describe something, but have no
subject-verb relationship.
Shooting just before the buzzer
rang and hoping to score the
winning point.

7. Sentence Fragments
• may have most of the makings of a
sentence but still be missing an important
part of a verb string.
Some of the girls going together
to the mall.

8. Sentence Fragments
• may have a subject-verb relationship,
but cannot stand by itself.
Even though she was the
prettiest girl and had a great
talent presentation.

9. Run-On Sentences
• A RUN-ON SENTENCE (sometimes called a
fused sentence) has at least two parts,
either one of which can stand by itself, but
the two parts have been connected
together with one or two words instead of
becoming two sentences. The run-on could
be corrected with a semi-colon.

10. Run-On Sentences
• Remember: The length of a sentence really
has nothing to do with whether a sentence is
a run-on or not; even a very short sentence
could be a run-on.
The books are heavy don’t carry them.
The books are heavy. Don’t carry them.

11. Run-On Sentences
• When two clauses are connected by only a
comma, they are a run-on sentence that is
called a comma-splice.
The books are heavy, don’t
carry them.

12. Run-On Sentences happen
• when an independent clause gives an order
or directive based on what was said in the
prior independent clause.
The game is going to be very
close you have to play your
best.

13. Run-On Sentences happen
• when two clauses are connected by words
such as however, moreover, nevertheless.
Mother packed my lunch
today however she forgot
to put in my desert.
