Sentences and Fragments

Every sentence has two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject
names whom or what the sentence is about. The predicate tells what
the subject does, has, or is. The predicate can also tell what the
subject is like.

Several whales / were swimming in the bay.

(subject) / (predicate)

Sentence fragment คือกลุ่มค ำที่รวมเข้ำไว้ด้วยกัน
แต่มีองค์ประกอบของประโยคที่ส ำคัญหำยไปอย่ำงใดอย่ำงหนึ่ง
อำจจะประธำน กริยำ ของประโยค หรืออำจจะเป็นกรรม

A sentence must have a subject and a predicate to express a complete
thought. A group of words that lacks a subject, a predicate, or both is a
fragment. Sometimes a fragment has a subject and a verb, but the
thought still isn’t complete.

Fragment: Were swimming in the bay. [lacks of a subject]

The king and all his men. [lacks of a predicate]

Before we went to soccer practice. [incomplete thought]

thought in your writing should come to a full stop. A run on sentence is
two or more complete sentences run together as one.
