Grammar Checklist Present Tense Verbs • Swap papers and skim read for present tense verbs • Circle any verbs that are not in present tense and/or do not sound correct • You do not have to correct these for the writer Present Tense Verbs • Swap papers again and skim read for present tense verbs • Circle any verbs that are not in present tense and/or do not sound correct • You do not have to correct these for the writer Run-on Sentences • Swap papers and check for run-on sentences – The sun is high, put on some sun block. • Circle where the run-on sentence occurs and where new punctuation is needed • Look especially at how quotations are blended because this is where most run-ons will occur Fragments • Swap papers and check for fragments – When Macbeth kills Duncan. • Circle where the fragment occurs • Remember that MOST fragments will occur where there is a SUBORDINATE CLAUSE– they will sound incomplete Compound Sentences • Swap papers and check for proper punctuation with compound sentences – Macbeth kills the king and he has Banquo killed. • The comma must become before a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) ONLY when it’s followed by a subject/ verb • Circle where the error occurs, and where a comma should be added Introductory Clauses and Phrases • Swap papers and check for errors in commas after introductory clauses and phrases – At school in the lunchroom I found a lost bag. • If a sentence begins with a prepositional phrase, it must be followed by a COMMA – If I go to the concert I want to sit in the front row. • If a sentence begins with a subordinate clause, it must be followed by a COMMA • Circle where these are needed. Conjunctive Adverbs • Swap papers and check for correct punctuation for conjunctive adverbs – Macbeth wants to become king, however he has to kill Duncan first. • A conjunctive adverb must begin with a semi-colon and be followed by a comma – Macbeth wants to become king; however, he has to kill Duncan first. • Circle any places where the writer has made this error
