Language e-Link Two:
Finding Fragments
Teach Me!
Lesson Tips:
A subject names who or what the sentence is about.
A predicate shows action or tells about the subject.
A sentence has a subject and predicate and completes a thought.
A sentence fragment may be only a subject or a predicate.
A fragment does not express a complete thought.
Directions: Study the examples below to learn about
fragments and sentences.

Naval Service |
The word group to the
left is not a complete sentence. It could act as a subject
of a sentence, but it does not form a complete thought
|
| 2. Operated the first
British naval computers. |
The word group to the
left is not a complete sentence. It could act as a predicate
of a sentence, but it does not form a complete thought. |
However, if we put a subject and predicate together and
those two parts form a complete thought, then we have a complete
sentence.
