Discover the magic to work with sentence grammar. First, you will look at various kinds of incomplete sentences—also known as sentence fragments. You’ll learn how to rewrite them to make them whole. Next, find out about run-on sentences—those sentences that keep going on and on. You will develop techniques for punctuating or separating them into new sentences.
Then, explore the power of verbs and discover how the various verb forms keep sentences moving along and placed in time. Finally, you'll learn about all of the pronoun groups and how to determine a pronoun's proper form in a sentence.
