🔵Module 2: W4 - Day 1 - ELA
Lesson Instructions
You will go through two lessons (one in grammar and one in writing).
GRAMMAR
Compound Sentences
Introduction
Hi grammarians! We have learned about what makes a sentence complete - it must have at least one subject and one predicate. We've also learned that when a sentence has multiple subject and predicates with no punctuation, it is called a run-on sentence.
But how can we fix that?
We can fix it by adding a comma and a coordinating conjunction (for and nor but or yet so).
Video/Visual
In Your Notebook: Rewrite these run-on sentences, but place the comma in the correct spot!
1. Sarah likes the color green but DeAndre likes the color red.
2. Vincent is going fishing and he plans to catch a big one.
3. We will be going to the store so we will grab snacks there.
