Correcting Sentence Fragments

Sentence Fragment A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. Think about this word…fragment…Where have you heard that before? Ever heard of a rock fragment?

Just like a rock fragment, which is part of a whole, a sentence fragment is not whole. A sentence fragment is usually missing a subject or verb. Example: A tornado our town today. What is this sentence missing? How can we fix it?

Fixing a sentence fragment That sentence was missing a verb. A tornado (subject) our town today. To fix this sentence we have to add in a verb. A tornado (subject) struck (verb) our town today.

Example: Brought the trees down. This sentence is missing what? Does it have a subject? Does it have a verb? How can we fix it?

Fixing a sentence fragment This sentence is missing a subject. Brought (verb) the trees down. What brought the trees down? To fix this we should add a subject. A tornado (subject) brought (verb) the trees down.

What good writers do Good writers go back and revise their work to make it even better. Take a close look at your draft. Double check that each sentence expresses a complete thought.
