Here are three ways to correct a fused sentence:

• Make two complete sentences ( period + capital)(We had fun today. We played a new game.)

• Use a semicolon(We had fun today; we played a new game.)

• Use a comma and a conjunction (must have both)(We had fun today, since we played a new game.)

2) Drag any items in the box to correctly fix the fused sentence. ( You may write in any other conjunctions or punctuation you feel you need.)

3) Press the timer to stop the time.

4) The teacher will record the times; the class will decide whether the sentence has been fixed correctly ( teacher is the final judge).
