Que es un sentence fragment? ejemplos y definicion

Answer 1

                 Sentence FragmentsDefining a Sentence FragmentA sentence fragment is a sentence that:Does not express a complete thought. Example: Joe is. This sentence is lacking a complete thought - Joe is "something" - but we don't know what Joe is. Is lacking a subject. Example: Eating chicken. This sentence is lacking a subject - who or what is eating chicken?Is lacking an action. Example: A book without a cover.What about a book without a cover? Is the book doing something? Is someone doing something to the book? We don't know, because there is no subject Is a dependent clause, standing alone. Example: And I went to the store. The conjunction "and" makes this clause dependent. A dependent clause can't stand alone, it needs to be attached to an independent clauseExamples of Sentence FragmentsHere are some additional examples of sentence fragments, with corrections.  Since I like fishing.This is a sentence fragment because it is a dependent clause. "Since" is a subordinating conjunction, and this sentence can't stand alone.We could correct this sentence by removing the word "since," so the sentence would simply read "I like fishing." I am the subject, like is the verb, fishing is the object.We could also correct this sentence by joining the dependent clause with an independent clause: I am going to the lake, since I like fishing.Which is why I cried. Again, we have a sentence fragment because of the subordinating conjunction "which."This sentence could be corrected by removing "which is why." The sentence "I cried." is a complete sentence. I is the subject, cried is the action.The sentence could also be corrected by joining it with an independent clause. I was sad, which is why I cried..
