When you read sentence fragments, they are missing (in some combination):

  • Who or What - the subject
  • Did what - the verb
  • To whom or to What - the object.

I walked. Technically, it is a complete sentence. It has a subject and a verb. But it doesn't tell us much.

I walked home. A better complete sentence. It has subject, verb and a modifier that indicates where.


If you wrote:

At the Baseball game, he -- You would have a pronoun subject, but no verb.

At the baseball game, he yelled. -- It has a pronoun, subject, and technically could be a complete sentence. But it doesn't give much information.

At the baseball game, he yelled until he lost his voice. -- This gives much more information. It answers subject (he) verb (lost) what/object (his voice) and the modifying clause of where (at the baseball game).
