Break It Right: Splitting Sentences for Class 2 

This Class 2 worksheet teaches children how to split compound or run-on sentences into two clear, simple sentences. Learners practise recognising when a sentence contains more than one idea, and how to separate the ideas correctly while keeping meaning clear. By breaking long or confusing lines into neat, complete thoughts, students improve clarity, structure, and early writing confidence. 

The worksheet includes underlining tasks, multiple-choice questions, splitting exercises, a passage requiring joining/splitting choices, and a short paragraph-writing task. Each activity helps learners understand how ideas can be separated meaningfully instead of being placed together incorrectly. 

Why Splitting Sentences Matters? 

Splitting sentences helps children: 
1. Avoid run-on or confusing sentences. 
2. Learn to express one idea at a time clearly. 
3. Identify where a thought ends and another begins. 
4. Build strong foundations for writing longer texts.
