Sentence fragments

A sentence fragment is not a complete sentence because it is missing some vital portion that each sentence should have. It is missing either subject or predicate or a conjunction. The following are examples of sentence fragments:

• The boy running.
• The ball.
• The table tall.

The following are the same fragments that have been corrected to make complete sentences:

• The boy is running.
• The ball is rolling.
• The table is tall.

Be sure to recognize the difference between a sentence fragment and a complete sentence.
