9A LEP3 Identify Sentences/Fragments And You're/Your

​A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete idea.

Each sentence has two parts, a subject and predicate.

SUBJECT: tells what the sentence is about.

It contains a noun.

PREDICATE: tells what someone or something (the subject) does.

It contains a verb.

Example Sentence:

Snow White fell asleep after eating a poison apple.

In purple is the subject. In green is the predicate.

​Sentence Fragment: is part of a sentence but it does not make sense on it own.

Example of Sentence Fragment: Because Mia forgot her homework.

Sentence Fragments begin with a joining word like "because," "when," "if," "since," or "although."

​Complete Sentence: makes sense on its own--it has a subject and predicate.

Example of Complete Sentence: Mia forgot her homework.

Example of Complete Sentence: Mia was not prepared because she forgot her homework.

Fix A Fragment Sentce By: adding a subject or predicate.
