Answer 2

Okay, so examples of sentence fragments:
When it skipped across the rock.
Was delicious.

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence, or a sentence that does not give all the needed information.

Answer 3

oh okay, makes sense. the one that was rather confusing was "Think."
I was thinking that it could be an imperative sentence says [You] think. you being the subject adn think being the predicate/main verb. but i got confused with it

Answer 4

It does not include a subject, so therefore I would conclude that "Think." is a sentence fragment.

Answer 5

i was thinking that too, but then i confused myself saying that it was an imperative sentence. does my logic make sense or is it just completely off course?

Answer 6

It does make sense, yes. But since there is no other information given, I would conclude that it is a fragment.

Answer 7

oh yeah! Makes sense! thanks!

Answer 8

You're welcome! (:

Answer 9

oh and one last thing sorry. I just realized that this sentence may be a fragment? :

When the kitten playfully chased the ball of yarn, unraveling it completely.

Answer 11

Nope, it is incomplete.
