Examples of a sentence fragment

Answer 1

Fragments are sentences that do not have all of their parts. They lack either a subject or a predicate. There are other improper sentences that are missing words, or have the wrong form of a verb, but these are not fragments.

Examples (fragments)

Learned about American politicians. (no subject)

The smartest man in the state, perhaps in the country.(no predicate)

Examples (incomplete or incorrect sentences)

The answer is. (no predicate nominative)

He smashed. (no object)

He saw cat. (missing article)

He eat many dogs. (wrong verb or tense)

Why you eat pie? (missing helper verb do) A sentence fragment can be best described as a group of words that cannot stand by itself as a complete thought or sentence. A sentence fragment can be best described as a group of words that cannot stand by itself as a complete thought or sentence.

Answer 2

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?)

Answer 3

A complete sentence must have both a subject, a predicate, and it must be a complete thought.

An example of a sentence fragment containing only a subject would be: The dog.

An example of a sentence fragment containing only a predicate would be: Sleeps all day.
