Correct the Run-On Sentences
10 questions
6th - 8th Grade
English
This free printable English worksheet helps students in Grades 6–8 identify and correct run-on sentences. It includes 10 open-ended items built around sentences about the four seasons, giving learners repeated practice recognizing where one complete thought ends and another begins. Students must revise each sentence rather than select an answer, so they demonstrate control of sentence boundaries and punctuation. Use this worksheet for guided practice, independent work, homework, or a writing-conventions review. It is especially useful after introducing ways to correct run-ons, such as separating independent clauses or joining them appropriately. The included answer key supports efficient checking and feedback, helping teachers identify whether students need more practice recognizing complete clauses, choosing appropriate punctuation, or avoiding comma splices.

FAQs
What does the Correct the Run-On Sentences worksheet cover?
This Grade 6–8 English worksheet gives students 10 open-ended sentences about the four seasons and asks them to correct run-on sentences. By revising each item, students practice identifying separate complete thoughts and using appropriate sentence boundaries and punctuation to create clear, grammatically correct sentences.
How can I use this worksheet to teach students to correct run-on sentences?
Model how to find the complete thoughts in one of the seasonal sentences, then think aloud about whether to separate or correctly join those clauses. Have students mark the sentence boundaries before rewriting the remaining nine open-ended items, and use the answer key to discuss why different revisions make each sentence clearer.
What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this run-on sentence worksheet?
Students may overlook that both parts of a seasonal sentence can stand alone, leaving the run-on unchanged or adding only a weak punctuation mark. Watch for comma splices, missing end punctuation, and revisions that accidentally remove the relationship between ideas, especially in items with closely related statements about the same season.
How do I assign and grade the Correct the Run-On Sentences worksheet?
Assign the worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format also gives schools an option for reducing screen time while students practise sentence correction.
How can I differentiate this run-on sentence worksheet for my students?
For the 10 open-ended sentence corrections, use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing and font size for easier reading and writing. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those changes will help students understand and revise the seasonal sentences.
