Correcting Sentence Fragments:
A sentence fragment is a group of words that does not express a complete

complete sentences. (p.138)
Examples:
1. Gone for a long time.
2. Came into the kitchen.
A run-on sentence joins together two or more sentences that should be
written separately. You can correct a run-on sentence by dividing it into
separate sentences. You can also fix a run-on sentence by making it into a
compound sentence, using and, or, or but.
Examples of run-on sentences:
1. In 1803, American bought the Louisiana Purchase the new territory was huge.
_________________________________________________________
2. The Rocky Mountains were dangerous people needed a clear path to the west.
_________________________________________________________
3. Connecting two sentences with and is fine but do not continue to write further
ideas because it is incorrect and gets difficult to follow.
