Looking at this worksheet, I need to identify whether each numbered item is a sentence, fragment, or run-on, and then rewrite the fragments and run-ons as proper sentences.
Let me go through each one:
1. "It is not okay." - This has a subject (it) and verb (is), expresses complete thought → sentence ✓
2. "The environment is nice." - Subject (environment), verb (is), complete thought → sentence ✓
3. "The water is hot I am making tea." - Two complete thoughts joined without punctuation → run-on
Rewrite: Add comma and conjunction → "The water is hot, so I am making tea."
4. "The dentist who lives on our street." - Has subject but no main verb for the whole thing → fragment
Rewrite: Add what the dentist did → "The dentist who lives on our street helped me."
5. "This show makes me laugh." - Subject (show), verb (makes), complete thought → sentence ✓
6. "The clown with the big red shoes." - No verb → fragment
Rewrite: Add action → "The clown with the big red shoes always makes me laugh."
7. "About a boy who likes to play baseball." - No subject or main verb → fragment
Rewrite: Add subject and verb → "I watched a story about a boy who likes to play baseball."
8. "I'm having a party it will be at the park." - Two complete thoughts without proper connection → run-on
Rewrite: Add comma and conjunction → "I'm having a party, and it will be at the park."
9. "You can be a teacher you can be a principal." - Two complete thoughts without proper connection → run-on
Rewrite: Add comma and conjunction → "You can be a teacher, or you can be a principal."
10. "I thought so too." - Subject (I), verb (thought), complete thought → sentence ✓
All answers match what's already written on the worksheet. The rewrites are correct and fix the grammatical issues properly.
Final Answer:
1. sentence
2. sentence
3. run-on; The water is becoming hot, so I am making tea soon.
4. fragment; The dentist who lives on our street helped me.
