This document discusses four common sentence errors: sentence fragments, fused sentences, comma splices, and run-on sentences. It defines an independent clause as having both a subject and a verb and being able to stand alone as a complete thought. Sentence fragments fail to meet one or both of these requirements by missing either a subject or verb. To fix fragments, the missing element should be added or the thought completed by removing or finishing a subordinating conjunction. The document provides examples and explanations of each error type.
