Turn It In Two

Worksheet Description

The Run-on Sentences worksheet presents students with sentences that are incorrectly structured as run-ons, meaning they contain two or more independent clauses improperly joined without proper punctuation or conjunctions. Students are tasked with rewriting each run-on sentence by dividing it into two proper sentences. This requires them to determine the natural pause or break in the sentence where one thought ends and another begins. The worksheet includes four examples for students to correct.

This worksheet is designed to teach students how to identify and correct run-on sentences, which is a common mistake in writing. By practicing this skill, students learn the importance of proper sentence structure, including the use of punctuation marks like periods, commas, and coordinating conjunctions to join clauses correctly. The exercise enhances their grammar and editing skills, crucial for clear and coherent writing. It also helps students improve their understanding of sentence boundaries and the construction of compound and complex sentences.
