Revising & Editing #4

An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence.

No, abbreviations can be confusing unless they are explained.

You can fix run-on sentences by inserting a comma and a FANBOY, inserting a semicolon, or inserting a period.

Every sentence must have a subject, a verb, and a full thought.

'Would you please take this to the office?' is the correctly written sentence.

The subject is the part of a sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

A verb is a word that describes an action or a state of being.

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation.

FANBOY is an acronym for the coordinating conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.

The purpose of editing is to improve the clarity, coherence, and overall quality of the writing.
