There are transitive verbs, if that's what you mean. Depending on the type of object they take, verbs may be transitive, intransitive or linking. The meaning of a transitive verb is incomplete with a direct object, as in the following examples: Incomplete: The shelf holds. Complete: The shelf holds three book and one vase.
Sentences are short and incomplete
A sentence fragment is when a sentence is not fully complete. Such as : My mommy went..... Where did your mommy go? My mommy went to the store. That is an example of a sentence fragment and how it was fixed.
No. < That was a sentence without a verb.
Unless you are writing dialog and fragments or run-on sentences are part of a character's speech pattern, it's best to avoid them because they are examples of lazy writing. Writing anything assumes that you intend your work for publication. Your audience is unknown, but expects clear, legible sentences. Finally, if your work is to be translated into any other language, fragments and run-on sentences are nearly impossible to translate while maintaining the author's intention.
Incomplete sentences or sentence fragments.
Rhetorical fragments are incomplete sentences that are used in writing to persuade the reader, or to evoke some emotional response from the reader's perspective. They are sentence fragments used to emphasize a point.

I would not denigrate you for using incomplete sentences.
Fragments and run-on sentences both involve errors in sentence structure. Fragments lack a subject, verb, or complete thought, while run-on sentences combine multiple independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions. Both can confuse readers and disrupt the flow of writing.
In English writing, there are complete sentences (thought) and incomplete sentences which are called fragments. We must use complete thoughts to communicate well and to be understood. Teachers might write "contains a fragment" on a student's paper to draw attention to a "sentence fragment" that needs fixed to make it a complete sentence.Some examples of incomplete sentences or "sentence fragments" are these:Teachers might. (Might what? There's no sentence object here.)What does? (What does what? The sentence needs an object.)Pushed the vacuum cleaner. (WHO pushed the vacuum cleaner? The sentence needs a subject.)Jumped off. (Who jumped off what? The sentence needs a subject and an object. For example: The cat jumped off the table. The boy jumped off the four-foot high wall.)
No. < That was a sentence without a verb.
A complete sentence includes a subject, verb, and expresses a complete thought. On the other hand, a sentence fragment is incomplete as it lacks one of these components or does not express a full idea.

Fragments, comma splice, and run-on sentences are the three most common types of sentence errors.
