    1. Simple Sentences…. I looked up to the sky. It was a clear day. I saw a bird. Maybe it was a plane. I was wrong. I saw superman!

    2. Combining Sentences And avoiding run on sentences, too!

    3. Options Combine two simple sentences to create a compound sentence.

    4. Introducing: The Fanboys F or A nd N or B ut O r Y et S o

    5. Use a fanboy and a comma to create a compound sentence. I looked up to the sky, and it was a clear day.

    6. The Semicolon You could also use a semicolon to join two sentences (aka independent clauses). I saw a bird; maybe it was a plane.

    7. Avoid run on sentences I looked up to the sky it was a clear day I saw a bird maybe it was a plane I was wrong it was superman!

    8. Look at your writing and revise…. Do you have many simple sentences one after the other: I looked up to the sky. It was a clear day. I saw a bird. If so, try combining some using a fanboy and a comma or a semicolon: I looked up to the sky, and it was a clear day. Have you written a series of simple sentences (independent clauses) together with only a period at the end of the series? If so, separate some of them with periods and combine others into compound sentences. I looked to the sky ; it was a clear day. I saw a bird, or maybe it was a plane, but I was wrong. It was superman!
