What is an incomplete sentence?

In: Languages and Cultures [Edit categories]

Answer:

An incomplete sentence, also referred to as a fragment, is any sentence without a subject and/or predicate.

I ran.
I'll go.
Run!

While all three of these sentences are short, they are complete sentences. Run! is a command, with the subject ('you') implied.

I --> subject
ran --> predicate, verb.

I --> subject
will go --> predicate, with helping verb (will) and main verb (go).

Fragmented sentences can be a very powerful tool in rhetoric and prose, if used sparingly.
