A fragment is an incomplete sentence that lacks either a subject or a verb, or fails to express a complete thought. For example, "Running through the park" or "Although it was raining" are fragments because they do not stand alone as complete sentences. Fragments often occur when dependent clauses or phrases are mistakenly presented as standalone sentences. To correct a fragment, it can be combined with a complete sentence or revised to include the missing elements.
