Clack, Clack, Ding! Fixing Sentences on Grandpa's Typewriter

Find and fix fragments and run-ons in Roz's typed pages.

Spot the problem

Roz found her grandpa Emil's old typewriter in the attic. She is typing about it, but some of her sentences need help. A fragment is missing a subject or a verb or does not finish a thought. A run-on joins two sentences without the right punctuation or joining word.

Sort Roz's sentences.

The keys made a loud clack.Under a dusty blanket in the attic.Grandpa Emil showed me the ribbon I loaded it myself.Typed a whole page before lunch.A little bell rang at the end of each line.I pushed the lever the paper slid up, it was fun.Because the letter E was stuck.My first letter went to my cousin in Ohio.
