Answer 2

Hello???? I never get my questions answered!

Answer 3

A sentence fragment is an sentence that was not completed. Any ideas?

Answer 4

Also note that a complete sentence (simple sentence, or independent clause) contains at least one \(\rm\color{lime}{subject}\) (noun, being a person, place, thing, and/or idea), one \(\rm\color{turquoise}{verb}\) (an action, such as running), and one complete thought without having to add more information.

Here are some examples of complete sentences (the subjects are in \(\bf\color{lime}{green}\), the verbs are in \(\bf\color{turquoise}{blue}\) ):

\(\rm\color{lime}{Jade}\) and \(\rm\color{lime}{I~}\) will \(\rm\color{turquoise}{drive}\) to the beach tomorrow.

\(\rm\color{lime}{I}\) \(\rm\color{turquoise}{gave}\) the pretty rose to the little girl.

The \(\rm\color{lime}{rain}\) and \(\rm\color{lime}{sunlight}\) \(\rm\color{turquoise}{give}\) life to all of Earth's amazing flora.

\(\bf\color{turquoise}{

Answer 5

Further, to give you some helpful hints when identifying complete sentences (independent clauses) and sentence fragments (dependent clauses), always try to find firstly, the \(\rm\color{lime}{noun}\) (which is a person, place, thing, or idea) and then try to find the \(\rm\color{turquoise}{verb}\) (which is the action that the noun is doing). If you cannot find both of these things, and if the sentence leaves you looking for more information, it is probably a sentence fragment (dependent clause).

Please let me know if this helps!

Answer 6

"B. Big red strawberries in the fields on a hot summer day" is an example of a sentence fragment, mostly because there is no active verb for the subject in question.

Answer 7

If you're going to google, then copy and paste your answers @lickalotofpus please at least get the right answer. The answer is C not B

Answer 8

C is the answer

Answer 9

Hey guys, please remember that we do not allow direct answers here, unless it is [nearly] impossible not to do so. The goal is to guide our asker through the material so that they can really understand the material, find the answer on their own, and really understand why the answer is what it is.

If any of you have any questions regarding our rules and/or how the site works, please ask a \(\bf\color{darkcyan}{Moderator}\) (the users who have the \(\underline{\color{darkcyan}{blue}}\) usernames and blue outlined portraits like mine, for example). You'll also notice that the Moderators have the 'Moderator' title as well.

Thanks, and thanks again for using \(\rm\color{#00b1f2

Answer 10

@pandora that only applies to math. Direct answers are allowed in any other subject.

Answer 11

I do apologize, but I must disagree:

I wrote (along with another member of the team) the Code of Conduct and the Terms and Conditions, and I have also chatted with Ultrilliam about this matter, and we have clearly established that direct answers are not allowed unless it is impossible to guide the asker. There are some rare occasions where we'll let it slide (such as in History, where it's difficult to really explain), but for the majority, no.

Answer 12

I asked Ultrillium, and he said, and quote "Direct answers are forbidden in Math, but any other subject, knock yourself out."

Answer 13

The matter is being discussed now. I'll update you when I get a response from Ultrilliam regarding the matter.

Answer 14

Did we ever get an answer as to if Direct Answers outside of Math-Land are ok?

Answer 15

I talked to Ultri, and he simply doesn't care, unless it is mathematics.
