Basic Sentence Structure, the first book in the Write to Fit series, is for students who see the words "run-on sentence," "fragment," or "comma error" filling the margins of their written assignments and want to eliminate these errors from their writing. Beginning writers or those who are not native English speakers may also find Basic Sentence Structure useful in recognizing and eliminating errors in sentence structure.
Basic Sentence Structure is a short, focused examination of the way basic sentences are put together. Two of the top ten most frequent punctuation errors and how to correct them are covered, along with the structure and punctuation of simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences. Besides an explanation of the terms and examples of the various sentence types, the book contains a method that will aid readers in recognizing and writing complete sentences. A notebook for recording the reader's work is recommended.
