A sentence fragment is a group of
words which does not express a completed thought. Since it is a part of
sentence, it should not be allowed to stand alone, but should always be kept in
the sentence of which it is a part.
For example: Studying composition.
When
I was young.
There are four ways how to revise the
sentence fragments.
- By adding the missing words
Ø Studying composition.
Ø I am studying composition.
- By adding another complete sentence
Ø Studying composition.
Ø Studying composition, I listened to
the radio.
Ø When I was young.
Ø When I was young, I was naughty.
- By omiting the subordinator
Ø When I was young.
Ø I was young.
- By joining the fragment into the adjacent sentence.
Ø I was grateful for his financial
assistance. Which enable me to go there.
Ø I was grateful for his financial
assistance which enable me to go there.
