Study Notes
Sentence Structure
- A sentence is a group of words containing a subject and a verb, expressing a complete thought.
- A fragment is a group of words that does not express a complete thought.
- Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
Identifying Sentences and Fragments
- Sentences (S) express complete thoughts.
- Fragments (F) do not express complete thoughts.
Revising Fragments to Create Sentences
- Word groups can be revised to form complete sentences, adding details and clarity.
- Example: "standing in the lobby" becomes "I have been standing in the Lobby."
Run-On Sentences
- Run-on sentences are two or more complete sentences combined without proper punctuation.
- Two types exist: fused (no punctuation between sentences) and comma splices (sentences connected only by a comma).
Correcting Run-On Sentences
- Run-on sentences can be corrected by separating them into separate sentences, using semicolons, or using conjunctive adverbs with commas.
- Example: "The Delaware River is in eastern Pennsylvania the Ohio River is in Western Pennsylvania." becomes "The Delaware River is in eastern Pennsylvania; however, the Ohio River is in western Pennsylvania."
Subject and Predicate
- A sentence has two main parts: subject (the who or what the sentence is about) and predicate (what is said about the subject).
- The complete subject includes all words identifying the subject, and the complete predicate includes all words describing the subject.
