  5. Notes (cue paper & pen) 3/11/13 • RUN-ON SENTENCE: • Two or more sentences (complete thoughts) written together as one sentence.

  6. Review: Ways to Fix R.O. • Put a period between the sentences (and capitalize the first word of new sentence) • I am nobody. Nobody is perfect. Therefore, I am perfect.

  7. Ways to Fix R.O. • Use a comma and conjunction (FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) • I am nobody, and nobody is perfect. Therefore I am perfect.

  8. Ways to Fix R.O. • Insert a semi-colon (;) between complete thoughts. • I am nobody. Nobody is perfect; therefore, I am perfect.

  9. Your turn (cue white board) • Using your notes and your partner, correct this run-on sentence: • I stepped on a cornflake now I am a cereal killer.

  11. White board • Pick the sentence that is a run-on and correct it. • I got a job at the bakery because I kneaded dough. • I tried to catch fog but I mist.

  18. Notes (cue paper & pen) 3/12/13 • Subject Verb Agreement: • A singular subject needs a singular verb. • Plural subjects need plural verbs. • (Do you see how these two sentences demonstrate sub/verb agreement?)

  19. Making subjects agree with their verbs • Isolate the subject • Ignore anything that is just describing the subject. • Ask yourself: is the subject one thing (a collection or team can be one thing) • Find the subject’s verb (usually its action)
