Sentence or Fragment? | Identifying Sentences and Sentence Fragments

Sentence or Fragment? | Identifying Sentences and Sentence Fragments
A sentence is a word group that contains a subject and a verb and that expresses a complete thought.
A thought is complete when it makes sense by itself.
For example:
The sick man had forgotten to take his medicine.
For how many years have you been married?
A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, a question mark, or an exclamation point.
Do not confuse a sentence with a sentence fragment. A sentence fragment is a group of words that does not have a subject, a verb, or both.
SENTENCE FRAGMENT:
Athletes representing the 30 schools.
SENTENCE:
Athletes representing the 30 schools competed at the Penn Relays.
SENTENCE FRAGMENT:
practices every day for the competition.
SENTENCE:
The band practices every day for the competition.
Also, a group of words may have a subject and verb but is still a sentence fragment because it does not express a complete idea.
SENTENCE FRAGMENT:
The jeep designed for rough conditions.
SENTENCE:
The jeep has been designed for rough conditions.

Thank you for your support, Shanoyah! Though I’d love if my video pleases everyone, I understand that we are not a monolith and that some persons might genuinely not find the content helpful. Thankfully, this topic is popular, and there are many awesome teachers here on the Tube, so I’m confident they’ll find another video that aids their understanding.❤️

[@reazamdel8764]

are phrases sentence fragments?

[@GetGrammarouswithKerrySensei]

Phrases and clauses can both be fragments.

[@reazamdel8764]

thank you❣️❣️

[@hatdogten1744]

Is sentence fragment and phrase the same?

[@GetGrammarouswithKerrySensei]

Hi! A phrase is a type of fragment. You can also have a clause fragment. Both phrases and clauses are parts of a sentence. The key to remember, however, is that they are both incomplete (they don’t possess all of the three: a subject, a verb, and convey a complete thought.)

[@GetGrammarouswithKerrySensei]

In summary, all phrases are fragments but not all fragments are phrases.
