A sentence fragment is when a sentence is not fully complete. Such as : My mommy went..... Where did your mommy go? My mommy went to the store. That is an example of a sentence fragment and how it was fixed.

∙ 10y agoThey are not "fragment sentences" but sentence fragments(fragments of sentences).
Fragments are word groups that do not complete a thought. An example of a fragmented sentence would be:
"Went to the beach with her friends." (there is no subject)
But usually sentence fragments are disguised by length or by included clauses:
"The largest single diamond ever discovered, found in the 18th century and brought back to England." (The word found is part of a clause, not the predicate.
That sentence could be repaired by dropping the comma and adding was.
"Because we were in a hurry." (Starts out well, but it is just a clause)
People use fragments all the time in conversation. But by themselves, in written form, they can be confusing.
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"To get to the other side." (the understood part is "It crossed the road...")
Fragment sentences often appear in lists, as in a resume. For example, a person may list some of his/her job experiences with fragment sentences such as:
Worked as a sales associate in a convenience store for seven years.
Provided excellent customer service.
Assisted management with product orders and inventory.
These sentences have no subject and are, therefore, incomplete. It is assumed that the subject is "I" since it is understood that the resume is about this particular person. The use of fragment sentences in cases such as this, is usually acceptable in a resume or similar document, but not recommended for use in formal or business correspondence.

A complete sentence always has both a subject and a verb. If either the subject or the verb is missing, then it is a fragment.
