Fragment2

         A group of words that does not have the three requirements for a

complete sentence is called a fragment or sentence fragment. A group of

words can be very short and still be a complete sentence or very long and still

be a fragment. In the writing you do on your own and on the Language Arts,

Writing Test, a fragment is an error that needs to be corrected.

 

         Let’s look at some examples. See if you can tell which groups of words

are sentences and which are fragments. Write S or F on the line for each.

 

            F  Leaving the office at noon .

            S  The customer will be helped immediately.

            S   This apartment has been rented.

            F   The old graying dentist.

Did you write an F for fragment in the first and last word group? The first

group is missing a subject. Who is leaving the office at noon? The last group

does not have a predicate. It does not tell you what the dentist did.

 

                The other two word groups are sentences. They have all three elements of

a complete sentence.

 

Directions: One group of words in each pair is a sentence and one is a

                       fragment. Write S  or F on the appropriate line for each.

 

Example: S    Working six days a week is hard on George.

                F     Working six days a week and getting tired.

1.      F   Time on our hands.

S   We have time on our hands.

 

2.      S   The overtired baseball team next to the bus.

F   The overtired baseball team next to the bus.

 

3.      F   While you were sleeping on the couch.

S   While you were sleeping. We took your picture.

 

4.      F   The mileage on your car.

S   The mileage on your car is low.

 

5.      S   Tom works at the front desk.

F   Tom at the front desk of the hotel.

 

6.      F   The idea you had.

S   The idea sounds good.
