Check understanding

  • Identify a sentence fragment by checking whether it has both a subject and a predicate, e.g. recognise 'Running through the park' as a fragment and correct to 'The dog was running through the park'
  • Identify a run-on sentence where two independent clauses are fused without punctuation or a conjunction, e.g. 'I like cats I also like dogs' and correct using a full stop, comma + conjunction, or semicolon
  • Edit a paragraph to fix fragments and run-ons, choosing the most effective correction strategy for each error
“If your child's writing has a sentence like "Running down the street." or two ideas jammed together without any punctuation, can they spot that something's wrong and fix it?”
