What is a sentence fragment?

A sentence fragment is a group of words that is lacking something essential, such as the subject or the verb. That prevents it from conveying a complete thought, from making sense. Take a look at the example below:

  • Is a Brazilian bird that has a long, colorful beak.

The sentence above is a fragment since it does not contain a subject. To complete it, we could do the following:

  • The tucano is a Brazilian bird that has a long, colorful beak.

The sentences in part A that were complete were appropriately labeled "correct". The ones that were fragments, as well as the ones in part B, were duly completed.
