Fragment Sentences A complete sentence will have at least one subject and one verb. Sentences are considered fragments when they are missing either a subject or a verb. – No Subject: Went to the store to buy brownie mix. Added Subject: My dad went to the store to buy brownie mix. – No Verb: Brownie mix at the store expensive. Added Verb: Brownie mix at the store was expensive. In addition to containing a subject and verb, a complete sentence will express a complete thought. – Incomplete: When he went to the checkout counter to pay for the brownie mix. Complete: When he went to the checkout counter to pay for the brownie mix, he got distracted by a display of cake mixes. – Incomplete: The variety of yummy cake mixes. Complete: The variety of yummy cake mixes convinced him that he’d rather bake a cake than brownies tonight.
