Learning sentence structure will help students master punctuation and write better sentences with a greater confidence. Here are a variety of worksheets to help students master sentence structure. Begin by working on subjects, predicates, and objects, and then move on to clauses. I hope this helps.

/ March 1, 2018I was very concerned when I gave the “Fragments and Run0on Sentences” practice. The sentence “Having went to the store to buy food for dinner” has a GLARING grammatical error.
The students were asked to correct fragments or run ons, not verb tense.
I had to have a special lesson because they all didn’t see an issue the first time through.
