Sentence Studies 101

What is a fragment? What is a run-on sentence? What is a fused sentence? What is a comma splice?

How can these errors be fixed?

By the end of this ten-lesson course, students will know the answers to these questions. 

In Sentence Studies 101, Alice Nine guides learning by asking questions and applying grammar systematically and explicitly to identify and fix fragment and run-on errors.  Students will learn 

• To recognize the grammatical part that is missing in a fragment
• What a run-on sentence is and what it is not
• The three kinds of errors that cause run-on sentences 
• A variety of ways to fix fragments and correct run-on sentences

A six-question e-quiz designed for retrieval practice to reinforce learning concludes each lesson.
