Grammar Exercise 6 - Is it a sentence, a fragment or a run-on?
When a comma joins two complete sentences, the incorrect result is a run-on sentence. (One sentence runs on into the next.)
Example: Mark Twain is a good storyteller, he knows how to keep his reader in suspense.
-The comma joins the two complete sentences and makes it an incorrect run-on sentence.
A run-on sentence can also occrur when there is no punctuation between sentences.
Example: Jack plays baseball his little sister likes tennis.
Run-on sentences can be corrected in several ways. These will be studied later, but you should be able to recognize run-on sentences and avoid using them.
Directions: Select Fragment, Run-on Sentence, or Sentence for each group of words.
