Test
All classes -- test tomorrow

Be able to identify sentences, fragments, fused sentences, and comma splices. Be able to correct fused sentences, comma splices, and fragments.

A sentence contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
A fragment does not express a complete thought.
A run-on sentence is two or more sentences joined incorrectly.
The two types of run-ons are the comma splice (two or more sentences joined with only a comma) and the fused sentence ( two or more sentences with no punctuation between them).

Know the above definitions to write on the test.
