Get the Details

The study pages provide more in-depth coverage of each topic in the unit. They include examples and discussion.

Read through the study pages carefully, and test what you know as you see examples. For instance, skim the page for an example, and try to say what’s being shown in your own words; then, read the rest of the page to see if your explanation was accurate. This kind of self-testing can help you get more out of reading.

Here is an example of self-testing:

Error: Celeste found a cat. Which she promptly took home.

In my own words:

This is an example of a sentence fragment. Celeste found a cat is a complete sentence. Which she promptly took home is not a complete sentence. Which she promptly took home has a subject and a verb, but it does not form a complete thought and cannot stand alone.
