sentence fragment and complete
Ans) A complete sentence is not merely a group of words with a capital letter at the beginning and a period or question mark at the end.
Fragments• A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. Some fragments are incomplete because they lack either a subject or a verb, or both.
- Sentence fragments are groups of words that look like sentences, but aren't. To be a sentence, groups of words need to have at least one independent clause. For example, 'I like cheeseburgers' is an independent clause. Sentence fragments never have independent clauses, but instead are dependent clauses or phrases.
- A complete sentence has three characteristics: First, it begins with a capital letter. Most importantly, the complete sentence must contain at least one main clause. Each main clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.
