A sentence is defined as a group of words containing a subject, a verb, and a
complete thought. If any of these elements is missing, then the group of words
isn't a sentence. A fragment is a group of words that is punctuated like a
sentence and that is trying to function as a sentence, but one of the necessary
elements is missing.


There are several ways to find and correct fragments. Any group of words
functioning as a sentence should be checked for the basics. Does it have a
subject? Does it have a verb? Does it start with a subordinating conjunction or
a relative pronoun that keeps the thought from being complete? If the answer to
any of the questions is no, it is a fragment.


Correcting fragments is fairly simple and you have several options. For a
fragment that is missing a subject or verb, add the missing element. If the
problem is a subordinating conjunction, the conjunction can be removed which
would make the fragment a complete sentence. Another option is to join the
fragment to another sentence either before it or after it in the paragraph
creating a complex sentence.


No matter how you choose to correct the fragment, it is important for you to
eliminate them from your writing. Fragments are considered to be a major
grammatical error in writing because they indicate that the writer isn't sure
what a sentence is. Readers will often not pay attention to the point a writer
is making if the reader thinks the writer doesn't even understand how to write a
complete sentence.
