Assessment
Common Mistakes: Definition
Mistakes that many people
make that cause them to have fragments instead of sentences.
Com. Mis.Menu
Common Mistakes: ExamplesStarting sentences with because, and, if, but, or when are common mistakes.
Com. Mis.Menu
Because we wanted ice cream.
And they got lost.
If you lived here.
But I can’t drive.
When my mom comes home.
Common Mistakes: Explanation
Starting sentences with because, and, if, but, or when are common mistakes.
Com. Mis.Menu
Because we wanted ice cream.
“we” looks like the subject
“wanted” looks like a predicate
Since the group of words starts with
the word “because”, this is
not a complete sentence! It needs more information.
Fixing Common MistakesOne way to fix these mistakes is to not start
sentences with because, and, if, but, or when.
Com. Mis.Menu
Because we wanted ice cream.
And they got lost.
If you lived here.
But I can’t drive.
When my mom comes home.
We wanted ice cream.
They got lost.
You lived here.
I can’t drive.
My mom comes home.
Fragments: Sentences:
Fixing Common MistakesAnother way to fix these mistakes is to add
more information.
Com. Mis.Menu
Because we wanted ice cream.
If you lived here.
When my mom comes home.
We went to the store because we wanted ice cream.
You could go to school with me if you lived here .
We are going out to dinner when my mom comes
