Clause Completers

In this worksheet, students are given fragments and must determine whether each one is a dependent or independent clause. If it’s independent, they mark it as such; if it’s dependent, they are asked to add an independent clause to make it complete. This task encourages students to apply their knowledge of clauses and sentence formation in a creative way. It reinforces their ability to construct complete and logical sentences.

This exercise sharpens students’ ability to identify sentence fragments and understand sentence completion. By working on this activity, students practice grammar correction and sentence expansion, which are essential for writing longer, well-structured texts. Recognizing when a clause is incomplete develops their editing skills. This knowledge enhances compositional skills, empowering students to create varied and grammatically correct sentences.
