Sentence+Fragment

=Sentence Fragment=

Like a frag grenade but with sentences?

 * O How did you get that?! A sentence frag__ment__ is an incomplete sentence that contains only dependent clauses. These are a type of Run-on sentence (see Run-on sentence page for more info) Here is an example:

Engineering degrees are required in many house cleaning activities. Such as washing dishes, the laundry, and cleaning the bathroom. That sentence was wrong because had i period where a comma might of gone; however you don’t have to put a comma there. If you have ever read the newspaper you might have noticed that they use sentence fragments all the time. They do this because they want to show emphasis to the subject written about. Here is the correct way to right this: Engineering degrees are required in many house cleaning activities such as washing dishes, the laundry, and cleaning the bathroom. We have just looked at a fragment made by bad punctuation, but what about an incomplete sentence that starts with a coordinating conjunction (see the coordinating conjunctions page for more info on those) or a fanboy (FANBOYS are coordinating conjunctions). Here is an example: Because i went to the store. You need more info or you need to take off the 'because'. Notice that taking off the 'because' makes it an independent clause (see Independent Clause page for more info).
 * No main verb to be seen.**
