    • This quiz evaluates students’ understanding of sentence fragments, run-on sentences, and correct punctuation. Learners will identify grammar errors and choose the best corrections. This helps reinforce sentence structure knowledge and improves writing clarity.

      • Sentence fragments are incomplete thoughts missing subjects or verbs.

      • Run-on sentences improperly join two or more independent clauses.

      • Both fragments and run-ons confuse readers and make writing unclear.

      • Correcting these makes writing clearer and helps with better reading comprehension.

It encourages learners to evaluate their confidence in identifying structural issues in writing and understanding their impact on clarity. Use this reflection to guide your review and practice.
