THEY’RE, THEIR, THERE
• ’They’re’ refers to ‘they are.’
• ’There’ often refers to a place. If you take away the ‘t,’ it’s ‘here.’
• ’Their’ shows ownership.
Fragment Tips
• Phrase fragments: lack a subject, a verb, or both
• A piece of a complete thought that has been punctuated like a sentence using a period
• Pieces of sentences that are disconnected
• “Guess what?” Test
Run-on sentences
• Two sentences written together without any punctuation at all—a sentence that goes on and on and on…
• When a comma is used between two sentences without any connecting word (COMMA SPLICE!)
