Sentence fragments are incomplete thoughts. They can be as short as two words, or contain partial constructions of clauses. Here are some examples of incomplete sentences:

The boy.

When making the stew.

While reading my book.

The television made a loud noise and my mom.

Whenever I write a sentence.

If I had just.

There were many reasons she.


The key to identifying fragments is to first highlight (or circle) each punctuation mark. Then, use a paper to cover up the next sentence. Read the first sentence up to the punctuation mark. See if it is a complete thought. Uncover the second sentence. See if it should have been part of sentence #1.


When making the stew. My aunt stirred in the vegetables.

Those two thoughts should be together. The two parts needed a comma between them.
