Which of the following is a sentence fragment? He spent twenty dollars on those shoes. How much did you spend on those shoes? That money on those shoes? Twenty dollars is too much to spend.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A fragment is a statement that is not a complete sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the third one i ment to put That much money on those shoes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Either way, is that third one a full sentence? Does it make sense to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yah more than the forth one because it dont tell me what they are buying and y it is too much money.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is D i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so each sentence has a subject and a predicate, the subject is what the sentence is about and the predicate has a verb in it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah i know that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Twenty Dollars is too much to spend. Subject = $20 Predicate, = is too much to spend. So no, D is sentence, not a fragment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That much money on those shoes. Is there a verb in C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont see one. no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that is the fragment. You can't have a full sentence without a verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhh i see now, thanks!
