Sense and Structure: Fragments, Run-Ons & Full Sentences for Class 5 

This Class 5 grammar worksheet on Fragments, Run-ons, and Full Sentences helps students understand what makes a sentence complete, what breaks a sentence (fragments), and what wrongly joins ideas (run-ons). Using clear examples from pages 3–8 of the worksheet, students learn how to form meaningful sentences that start, connect, and finish properly.

The exercises include fill-in-the-blanks that turn fragments into complete sentences, multiple-choice questions that identify sentence errors, rewriting tasks to fix fragments and run-ons, a vivid descriptive passage to complete, and a paragraph-writing activity. The garden passage on page 8—with clues like quiet school garden, gentle breeze, tiny bird, sparkling droplets, and sharp whistle—shows children how correct sentence structure improves clarity and flow.

Why Sentence Structure Matters in Grammar? 

Understanding fragments, run-ons, and full sentences is important because: 
1. It teaches children how to communicate complete ideas clearly. 
2. It helps them avoid common writing errors. 
3. It improves paragraph writing, story writing, and comprehension. 
4. It builds strong foundational grammar for higher classes.
