Section outline

    • Welcome to this lesson on Sentence Fragments and Run-On Sentences. In this session, you will learn how to identify and fix two common writing mistakes that can affect the clarity of your communication. Through explanations, examples, and interactive activities, you’ll develop the confidence to write complete and properly structured sentences.

      • By the end of the lesson the student should be able to:

      1.  define a conjunction 

      2. identify conjunctions in sentences 

      3.  state the functions of conjunctions

      4. construct sentences using conjunctions 

    • This short pre-quiz helps you recall basic grammar knowledge as a starting point for the lesson. You will be asked to choose the most accurate definition of a conjunction. The activity is designed to activate your prior understanding before diving deeper into sentence structures.

    • In this activity, you will complete a short passage by selecting the best set of conjunctions from a given list. The goal is to reinforce your understanding of how conjunctions connect ideas smoothly in writing. Read the passage carefully and choose the set of conjunctions that fits all the blanks logically and grammatically.

    • In this module practice, you will apply your understanding of conjunctions by identifying them within full sentences. Each question presents a sentence with multiple highlighted words, and your task is to choose the correct conjunction. This activity reinforces your ability to recognize both coordinating and subordinating conjunctions in context, helping to strengthen your grammar and sentence construction skills.

    • This extended activity is designed to test your deeper understanding of conjunctions and their functions in sentence construction. You will answer multiple-choice and true/false questions that assess your ability to identify conjunctions, distinguish their correct definitions, and recognize what they do and do not do in English grammar. Use this practice to reinforce your mastery of conjunctions beyond basic usage.

    • This self-assessment helps you reflect on your understanding of conjunctions. You’ll rate your confidence in defining, identifying, explaining the functions of, and using conjunctions in your own sentences. This reflection will guide your learning and help you focus on areas that need more practice.
