COMMA SPLICE/RUN-ON: When you join two sentences with only a comma.

Imitate
Write a simple, compound, and complex sentence that has the same subject and verb in all sentences.Slide12
Let’s construct some simple sentences. Draw a line to connect the subject with a predicate.
Mrs. Frederick
Ms. Haeusser
Mrs. Christein Mr. DaleyMrs. Lang7th GradersPets the catHad a daughterBought a beautiful black dress for the dance
Felt illHopes for a special Valentine’s Day Card
The youngest students
This is not a predicate because it does not contain an action for the subjectSlide13
“One
of
these things
is not like the other”
DIRECTIONS: Identify which item does not belong; be able to explain why the item is out of place. Slide14
The school dances
always prove to be a good time, but students often complain that they pass too quickly.
The
end of the marking period is a busy time for students and for teachers alike.Mr. Daley and Mrs. Caldwell both attended Central Bucks, but they never knew one another.Mrs. Hickman does not kick-box anymore, but she was once a great fighter.
This one does not belong because it is not a compound sentence. It is a simple sentence with a compound object. It only has one independent clause.Slide15
The PSSA tests are going to be challenging this year.
We
have already had a number of snow falls, yet we have not had any snow days!You should listen to your parents; they really do love you. School is not meant to be easy, nor should you always expect to earn perfect scores.
This one does not belong because it is a simple sentence. The rest are compound. Slide16
Practice:
DIRECTIONS: In the following exercises, turn the sentence pairs into single compound sentences. Use a comma and a conjunction OR a semicolon to join the sentences. You can rearrange or add words in the sentence to make it sound better, but only if necessary. Slide17
