What causes a sentence fragment?
Almost always sentence fragments are caused by the writer using a period in a sentence where all that was really needed was a comma. Example fragment: He always felt at home in the city. Having spent so much of his childhood there. ("Having spent so much of his childhood there." is the "fragment," because it has been "broken off of" the sentence it belongs to.) The sentence should have been, "He always felt at home in the city, having spent so much of his childhood there."

Give 5 example of sentence fragment?
A sentence is a complete clause with a subject and a finite verb. A sentence fragment is not a complete clause, but is part of a clause (often lacking the verb to make a full sentence). For instance, a sentence fragment could be: The house that I used to live in. Swimming in the river. I cannot find. (missing the object, the 'what') When he came home. The business around the corner. The cigarette in my hand. As he kissed. How did? Many questions. When she saw the spider. NOTE: NONE of those should have periods because they are NOT complete sentences. MOST need a comma, and the rest of the sentence. A couple only need the rest of the 'complete thought', such as: The cigarette in my hand was burning. How did she know where I lived? Many questions are difficult to answer.

How do you figure out whether a sentence is Simple or Compound?
If a sentence is a compound sentence, you can break it up into two or more pieces which would be complete sentences in themselves. Example: I am going to visit my sister, and then I am going to go home. This could also be phrased as, I am going to visit my sister. Then I am going to go home. A simple sentence cannot lose any section without becoming a sentence fragment. For example: We are friends. If you remove any word from that sentence you no longer have a sentence.
How can you tell when a sentence is a sentence fragment?
A sentence with no subject or verb is an incomplete sentence. That would be a sentence fragment.- - - - - - - - - - - - -A complete sentence requires a subject and that subject'spredicate, excluding any subject/predicate pairs that are part of a dependent clause.Sentence fragments often appear as short answers to questions, where the subject or predicate is already known. This is acceptable in speech but considered incorrect writing.Ex Q: "What are you doing?"Ex A: "Running home."The answer is a sentence fragment because it has no subject ("home" is an object; it's not what's doing the running).Ex Q: "What are your hobbies?"Ex A: "Hiking, boating, and watching people climb trees."The answer is a sentence fragment because it has no subject. Notice that it contains a complete subject-predicate pair ("people climb"), but that pair is part of an object clause.Ex Q: "Who keeps poking me in the back?"Ex A: "Stefan, with that pencil he just sharpened."The answer is a sentence fragment because it has no predicate. Again, there is a subject-predicate pair ("he sharpened") but that pair is part of a dependent clause.Special case: ImperativeMany languages allow the omission of a subject because the verb conjugation implies only one (or very few) matching pronouns. In English, that's not usually the case, except with commands. When you write a command, the subject "you" can be left out:Ex: "Stop goofing off!"The implied subject is 'you' and the predicate is 'stop'. This is a valid sentence.
