I was very concerned when I gave the “Fragments and Run0on Sentences” practice. The sentence “Having went to the store to buy food for dinner” has a GLARING grammatical error. The students were asked to correct fragments or run ons, not verb tense. I had to have a special lesson because they all didn’t see an issue the first time through.
