The goal of this activity is to practice correcting
fused sentences.

A fused sentence consists of two complete ideas
that are joined without the correct punctuation.

example: We had fun today we played a new
game. (incorrect)

5


3
Here are three ways to correct a fused sentence:

• Make two complete sentences( period + capital)

(We had fun today. We played a new game.)

• Use a semicolon
(We had fun today; we played a new game.)

• Use a comma and a conjunction (must have both)
(We had fun today, since we played a new game.)

6


How to play: 4

In teams of two, you must fix the fused sentence. The
teams who fix the sentences correctly in the least
amount of time will win.

1) Press the timer to start the time.

2) Drag any items in the box to correctly fix the fused
sentence. ( You may write in any other conjunctions
or punctuation you feel you need.)

3) Press the timer to stop the time.

4) The teacher will record the times; the class will
decide whether the sentence has been fixed correctly
( teacher is the final judge).
