Fragments of sentences cannot stand alone as a complete thought. A complete sentence or what's called a complete thought has to have at least a noun/pronoun and a verb.

For example, these are not great sentences but they have the oun/pronoun and a verb:

She danced.

He sang.

She cried.

Too many short sentences like those, above, are not appropriate in one paragraph or in one writing.

Examples of sentence fragments include:

Sally's lunch box. (What about Sally's lunch box?)

Tom held. (Tom held what? whom?)

The store. (What about the store?)

Cash in my pocket. (What about the cash in your pocket?)
