Find And Circle

Worksheet Description

The Run-on Sentences worksheet provides a list of sentences for students to review with the objective of identifying those that are run-ons. A run-on sentence is one that contains two or more independent clauses joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunctions. Students are instructed to circle the sentences that they identify as run-ons, applying their knowledge of sentence structure and punctuation rules to distinguish correct sentences from flawed ones.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to spot run-on sentences, a common grammatical mistake. It serves to enhance their editing skills by allowing them to practice identifying sentences that need correction. By engaging with this worksheet, students are encouraged to pay attention to the use of punctuation marks like commas and periods, which are essential in separating independent clauses to form clear and coherent sentences. This exercise is an important part of developing students’ written communication skills by ensuring they can write properly punctuated sentences.
