What Is a Sentence Fragment?
A sentence fragment is a group of words punctuated as a sentence but missing one or more elements needed to form a complete thought. A complete sentence requires a subject, a verb, and the expression of a complete idea. When any of these is missing, or when a dependent clause stands alone, you have a fragment.
Types of Sentence Fragments
Missing Subject
These fragments have a verb but no subject performing the action.
- Fragment: "Ran through the entire dataset overnight."
- Fixed: "The script ran through the entire dataset overnight."
Missing Verb
These fragments name something but never state what it does or what happens to it.
- Fragment: "The new marketing strategy for Q3."
- Fixed: "The new marketing strategy for Q3 launches next Monday."
Dependent Clause Standing Alone
A dependent clause has both a subject and a verb but begins with a subordinating word that makes it incomplete on its own.
- Fragment: "Because the client changed the requirements at the last minute."
- Fixed: "The timeline shifted because the client changed the requirements at the last minute."
Verbal Phrase Fragments
Phrases starting with "-ing" or "to + verb" that lack a main clause.
- Fragment: "Running the numbers on last quarter's revenue."
- Fixed: "The analyst was running the numbers on last quarter's revenue."
When Fragments Are Acceptable
Not every fragment is a mistake. In creative writing, advertising, and informal blog posts, intentional fragments can add punch: "Absolutely not." "The best decision we ever made." But in academic papers, formal reports, and business proposals, fragments signal careless writing. This checker helps you find every fragment so you can decide which ones to keep and which to fix.
How to Use the Checker
Paste your text into the tool above. The checker identifies each fragment, explains what makes it incomplete, and suggests a fix. It works with essays, emails, reports, and any other English text. No signup needed.
