6. How can you fix these sentence fragments?
What is missing from each one?
The subject?
The predicate?
Do they express complete thoughts?
7. Sometimes a writer makes a fragment look like a
complete sentence.
The writer starts the fragment with a capital letter
and ends it with a period, but the fragment is still a
fragment – an incomplete sentence.
Because it does not express a complete thought.
8. The sentence fragment is, …
Be careful when beginning a sentence with a transition
word – and, but, because, while, since, and others.
Transition words tell the reader that you will be making a
comparison or giving an example which means your
sentence needs to have two parts in it.
The fragment above has a transition word (awesome) but
only one part (fragment).
