Writing Correct Sentences

Complete, correct sentences express ideas clearly. Avoid sentence fragments, comma splices, run-ons, and rambling or wordy sentences.

Sentence Fragment

A sentence fragment is a group of words that is missing a subject or verb (or both). It does not express a complete thought.

Sentence fragment (no subject)
