Yes, after rapid you need a comma and another action like: while they floated down the rapid, they ate Sandwiches.
It is a fragment.
No, sentence fragments and phrases are not the same. A phrase is a group of related words that does not contain a subject and a verb, while a sentence fragment is a group of words that appears to be a sentence but is missing a subject, a verb, or both. In other words, a phrase is a fragment whereas a sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence.
A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. For example these have periods, but are not sentences:I wanted. We were. When I was there. While he was in the store. If you had.
"Picking wildflowers while walking through the woods" is a fragment because it does not express a complete thought. It lacks a subject and a verb that form a complete sentence. To make it a complete sentence, you could say, "I enjoy picking wildflowers while walking through the woods."
As a question, it is not a sentence fragment, as long as surrounding sentences give context: Who usually wore a black beret?As statements, though, it is a fragment. Here are examples of complete sentences:The teenager, who usually wore a black beret, tried to act tough.The girl usually wore a black beret, while her friends liked brighter colors.
Yes, "toddlers played" is considered a sentence fragment because it lacks a complete thought. While it has a subject ("toddlers") and a verb ("played"), it does not provide enough context or detail to stand alone as a complete sentence. A complete sentence would need additional information, such as when or where the action took place.
Yes it is a fragment
The phrase "will arrive between one and two o'clock" is a sentence fragment because it lacks a subject. While it conveys a clear idea about an event occurring within a specific time frame, it does not stand alone as a complete sentence. To be a complete sentence, it would need a subject, such as "The package will arrive between one and two o'clock."
Yes, "I can't" can be considered a sentence fragment if it is not part of a larger sentence. A complete sentence typically requires a subject and a verb, and while "I can't" has both, it lacks a complete thought or independent clause. However, in informal contexts, it can function as a complete response or statement.
This is a run-on sentence because it contains two independent clauses without proper punctuation or coordination. A way to correct it would be, "While I was driving to work, there was an accident on the road, but I didn't stop."
That's not a sentence. It's a fragment. To know if it's correct we'd have to see the rest of the sentence; if there is no rest of the sentence, then no it's not correct, because it's a fragment.It's an awfully awkwardly worded fragment, while we're at it. Why not just "They have waived" whatever? Why do they have to deem it waived? It could technically be correct in a legal document, if the deemers are not the waivers (perhaps a court of law has determined that "the party of the first part" waived something, and "they" is referring to the court).
A "fregment" appears to be a typographical error or misspelling of the word "fragment." A fragment typically refers to a piece or part of something that is broken or incomplete. In literature, it can denote an incomplete sentence or thought, while in general use, it may refer to a small portion of a larger whole. If you meant a different term, please clarify!
