Making Corrections

Worksheet Description

The Run-on Sentences worksheet provides students with examples of sentences that are improperly structured, containing too many ideas without proper punctuation or conjunctions. These examples are classic run-ons: sentences that need to be broken down into smaller, more digestible parts to improve clarity and readability. Students are instructed to rewrite these sentences, correcting the run-on errors by dividing the sentences into smaller units, using punctuation, or employing conjunctions to join clauses correctly.

This worksheet aims to teach students how to identify run-on sentences and improve their sentence structuring skills. By working through the examples provided, students will learn how to use punctuation marks like periods, commas, and semicolons, as well as conjunctions, to separate and connect ideas in a grammatically correct way. The exercise is intended to enhance students’ writing by helping them create clear and coherent sentences, an essential skill for effective written communication.
