CRT Review: English 9
Run-on sentences are when two sentences are put together without any punctuation. Things that can fix run on sentences are: Make two seperate sentences, put in a coordinating conjunction (with a comma), use a semi-colon or use a semi-colon with a transitional word. An example of a run-on sentence: Larry went shopping Bertha went to the grocery store. Fixed: Larry went shopping, and Bertha went to the grocery store.
Run-on Sentences
When to use commas: -Before coordinating conjunctions (and, or, so, but, nor, yet, for, although) - Right after a subordinate clause that has come before a main clause. - Before and after extra information without a verb - Before and after extra information that doesn't affect the sentence with it gone (information that doesn't define it) - After each item when listing things out in the sentence.
Commas
Use 'an' before words that start with H and before vowels (with some exceptions below). Use 'a' before all words with consonants except the ones that start with H and when the vowel U makes a Y sound and the vowel O makes a W sound.
When to capitalize: -When using 'I' - The first letter of the first word in every sentence - Names of nouns (persons, places and things. - Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Mom, Dad, etc. - Countries - Abbreviations - Companies/Brands/Trademarks - Significant events - The first word in a direct quote - Titles with a name directly following but not a title after a name.
