Main Clause  A sentence needs to have a main clause to develop the idea in a sentence.  A sentence needs 3 components to have a main clause: Noun Noun Verb Verb Complete thought Complete thought Example: The man runs. (noun) (verb) Together the noun and verb make a complete thought.

Fragments A fragment is missing one of the key components of a main clause. For example:  And sneezed loud enough for the neighbors to hear. (missing the noun – who sneezed?)  The man fishing on a deep, cold, blue lake. (no verb – what was the fisherman doing?)  After Joe went to school. (Joe went – but then what? Not a complete thought)
