Question 1
Which group of words is a complete sentence?
Correct answer: B
Only this one has both a subject (the puppy) and a verb (chased) and makes a complete thought. The others are fragments.
-
Question 2
It started to rain we went inside.
Which is the best way to fix this run-on sentence?
Correct answer: C
Two complete sentences can be joined with a comma and a word such as "so." The comma goes before "so," not after it.

Question 3
Which group of words is a sentence fragment?
Correct answer: A
"After the game ended" leaves the reader asking "What happened after?" It is not a complete thought, so it is a fragment.

______ going to the museum tomorrow.
Which word correctly completes the sentence?

Question 7
Which sentence uses a comma correctly?

Question 8
Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

The question mark belongs to Mom's words, so it goes inside the quotation marks. A comma follows "asked," and the quotation begins with a capital letter.

The dog wagged ______ tail when we came home.
Which word correctly completes the sentence?

Question 10
Which sentence uses capital letters correctly?

Names of places such as the Grand Canyon and Arizona are proper nouns and need capitals. Seasons such as "summer" are not capitalized.
