English Grammar: Fragments vs. Sentences [Video]

Today, we’re looking at the difference between fragments and sentences.

 

What’s a sentence?

A sentence, as you know, consists of a  subject and a verb. That’s all you need to have a sentence! It doesn’t have to have a direct object, an indirect object, a prepositional phrase, etc. It can, but it doesn’t have to. All it needs is a subject and a verb.

 

What’s a fragment?

A fragment is a phrase that does not have BOTH a subject and a verb.

 

Examples of fragments

• Inside Tom’s house.
• Hit the ball to Peter.
• The biggest house in the world.
