Is it a complete sentence, a fragment, or a run-on?

Key Notes:

✨ Is it a Complete Sentence, a Fragment, or a Run-on? ✨

✅ Complete Sentence

A complete sentence has:

• A subject (who or what the sentence is about 👩‍🦱, 🐶, 🌳)
• A predicate (what the subject does or is doing 🏃‍♂️, 🎨, ✨)
• A complete thought 💡

👉 Example:

• “The dog barked loudly.” 🐶🔊
• “She is reading a book.” 📖

❌ Fragment

A fragment is an incomplete sentence because it is missing a subject, predicate, or a complete thought.
It leaves you asking: What else? 🤔

👉 Example:

• “Running through the park.” 🏃‍♀️🌳 (Who is running?)
• “Because it was raining.” 🌧️ (What happened because of the rain?)

🚫 Run-on Sentence

A run-on sentence has two or more complete sentences joined together without proper punctuation or conjunctions.
It makes reading confusing 😵‍💫.

👉 Example:

• ❌ “I love to read I go to the library every day.” 📚
• ✅ Corrected: “I love to read, and I go to the library every day.” 📖✨

🎯 How to Fix Them

Fragments ➝ Add the missing part.

• ❌ “Because I was late.”
• ✅ “I missed the bus because I was late.” 🚌

Run-ons ➝ Use punctuation (.,;), conjunctions (and, but, because), or break into smaller sentences.

• ❌ “She likes pizza she eats it every Friday.” 🍕
• ✅ “She likes pizza. She eats it every Friday.”

🌟 Quick Check (Think Like a Detective 🕵️‍♂️)

• Does it have a subject?
• Does it have a predicate?
• Does it make a complete thought?

👉 If yes, it’s a complete sentence! 🎉
👉 If no, it’s a fragment 🚫.
👉 If it has too many ideas squished together, it’s a run-on ⚡.

✨ Remember: Good writing = Clear sentences ✔️
