This worksheet provides a comprehensive overview of complete, incomplete, and run-on sentences, including examples for each. Students are tasked with circling subjects, double-underlining verbs, and underlining predicates in six sample sentences. They will then identify each sentence as complete, incomplete, or a run-on and correct the latter two.
For example, in the sentence "Shane slowed down he was very tired," the subject is "Shane," the verb is "slowed," and the predicate (which includes the verb and provides information about the subject) is "slowed down he was very tired." This sentence is a run-on because it improperly combines two independent clauses without appropriate punctuation or conjunctions to separate them.
