class)Agenda1. Run-On sentences
- Review Sentence/Fragment/Run on2. Begin writing paper – Using the
Outline!3. Incorporating research4. Quoting/paraphrasing
Quick review: Fragments• To be a complete sentence- – Subject – Verb– Express a
complete thought• Watch for words
like “although” and “because”!• Because I went
to the park.
Fragment!
Clauses
• A clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb
Subject Verb
You stink.
Sally is talking.
Subject
Verb
I love grammar
Sally is talking loudly
Most clauses have further information after the verb
Two Types of Clauses
• Independent clause (Main clause)– Can stand alone as a sentence– Can be joined to another clause– Fred filled a cardboard tube with gunpowder.
• Dependent clause (Subordinate clause)– Cannot stand alone as a sentence– Must be joined to an independent clause– Because he wanted to make his own
firecrackers.
A word that joins clauses is a conjunction
Joining Clauses• A dependent clause can be joined
to an independent clause to make a sentence– Fred filled a cardboard tube with
gunpowder because he wanted to make his own firecrackers.
Or
– Because he wanted to make his own firecrackers, Fred filled a cardboard tube with gunpowder.
When the sentence starts with the dependent clause, it must have a comma before the independent clause
Run-ons• Run-ons are independent clauses
that have been combined incorrectly. • There are several types:– The AND run-on– The Fused run-on– The comma splice
We will be going into detail on each one
The and run on (pg 146)
• two or more relatively long independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction without any punctuation.
Goal 1 AND per sentence (some situations warrant 2)(Because this has no punctuation, we have to read it in
one breath.)
– I met Charlyce in a yoga class at the YWCA and we liked each other immediately and we soon became friends and we often hang out at each other’s houses.
The Fused run on• two or more independent
clauses run together without any punctuation. – The girls made the fire the
boys cooked the steaks.
The comma splice run-on • The comma splice: two or more
independent clauses run together with only a comma.
– I met Charlyce in a yoga class at the YWCA, we soon became friends.
– Sounds right? It is actually two separate independent ideas/clauses. We COULD add a ; (semicolon) to make it correct, or we could separate into two sentences.
Review: Run ON
• Fragment= incomplete• 2 or more independent clauses
(whole sentences) combined incorrectly. – Too many ANDS (goal 1-2 “and”s per
sentence)– Fused • Jammed together with no punctuation
– Comma Splice• Jammed together with just a comma (need
comma conjunction!!!)
I went to the store and bought a candy bar and who did I see there but Kevin who got me a coke and so we went to the park together.
Kevin bought me a coke so we went to the park together. Kevin bought me a coke, we went to the park together
