Complete Sentences
• A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate that work together to make a complete thought.

Sentence Fragments
• A SENTENCE FRAGMENT fails to be a sentence in the sense that it cannot stand by itself.
Sentence Fragments
• may locate something in time and place, but lack a subject-verb relationship.

Sentence Fragments
• may describe something, but have no subject-verb relationship.

Sentence Fragments
• may have most of the makings of a sentence but still be missing an important part of a verb string.

Sentence Fragments
• may have a subject-verb relationship, but cannot stand by itself.
Even though she was the prettiest girl and had a great talent presentation.
Run-On Sentences
• A RUN-ON SENTENCE (sometimes called a fused sentence) has at least two parts, either one of which can stand by itself, but the two parts have been connected together with one or two words instead of becoming two sentences. The run-on could be corrected with a semi-colon.
Run-On Sentences
• Remember: The length of a sentence really has nothing to do with whether a sentence is a run-on or not; even a very short sentence could be a run-on.

The books are heavy. Don’t carry them.
Run-On Sentences
• When two clauses are connected by only a comma, they are a run-on sentence that is called a comma-splice.

Run-On Sentences happen
• when an independent clause gives an order or directive based on what was said in the prior independent clause.

Run-On Sentences happen
• when two clauses are connected by words such as however, moreover, nevertheless.
