Comma And Conjunction

Worksheet Description

The Run-on Sentences worksheet is a practice exercise for students to learn how to properly punctuate compound sentences. It presents a series of run-on sentences, which are sentences where two independent clauses are incorrectly joined without a comma or a conjunction. The students are directed to correct each sentence by adding a comma and an appropriate conjunction, such as ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘or’, ‘so’, ‘for’, ‘nor’, or ‘yet’. This process requires students to understand the relationship between the clauses in order to choose the correct conjunction.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to recognize run-on sentences and correct them by using commas and conjunctions appropriately. It emphasizes the importance of sentence boundaries and the role of conjunctions in connecting independent clauses. By completing the worksheet, students will enhance their grammar skills, particularly in sentence structure and punctuation. This task will also help them to write more clearly and effectively, as they learn to construct sentences that are correctly punctuated and easier to understand.
