- Combining sentences Two short sentences about the same thing can join into one smoother sentence. Use a joining word, and say repeated words only once.
- Complex sentences A complex sentence has a part that cannot stand alone, hooked to a part that can. Words like because, when, and although start the hanging part.
- Independent and dependent clauses An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. A dependent clause has a who-did-what too, but its first word makes it lean on something else.
- Run-on sentences A run-on squeezes two sentences into one. Find where the first idea ends, then add a period and a capital letter.
- Sentence fragments A fragment is a piece of a sentence. Find what it is missing: the naming part (subject) or the telling part (predicate).
- Simple and compound sentences A simple sentence has one who-did-what. A compound sentence is two of them, joined by a comma and a word like and, but, or so.
- Subject and predicate The subject names who or what the sentence is about. The predicate is everything the sentence says about it, starting with the verb.
- Types of sentences, new A statement tells. A question asks. A command orders. An exclamation bursts with feeling.
