Do you know what a complete sentence is? A SENTENCE is made up of one or more words that express a complete thought. A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.

What is a Fragment? A sentence must have two characteristics: 1. It must have a subject and a verb; 2. it must have independence or completeness. (This means it can stand alone.) If either of these characteristics are missing from a group of words written as a sentence, the result is an error called a sentence fragment.

Let’s look at some examples. Giovanna feels happy this morning. Because the sun is shining. She is leaving early to take a walk in the woods. "Because the sun is shining" is a sentence fragment.

More examples Fragment: Alex couldn't fall asleep. Although he was tired. Correct : Although Alex was tired, he couldn't fall asleep. Fragment: Hannah bought a 16-pound turkey. Which wasn't enough food. Correct : Hannah bought a 16-pound turkey, which wasn't enough food.

Take a look at these examples ! Fragment: Evan couldn't see that movie. Being only 10. Correct : Being only 10, Evan couldn't see that movie. (Happy Birthday again, Evan!) Fragment: Bob bought a 16-pound turkey. To feed 25 people. Correct : Bob bought a 16-pound turkey to feed 25 people.
