Grade 4 learners use conjunctions to fix run-on sentences and comma splices. They rewrite sentences by adding a comma plus a FANBOYS word like 'and', 'but', 'or', 'so', or 'yet' to join two complete thoughts properly. The matching activity pairs run-on sentences with their corrected versions, while fill-in items practice choosing the conjunction that best fits the meaning, helping students write clearer, smoother paragraphs in their own writing.
