This interactive lesson engages students in determining "why" each word grouping is a sentence fragment. The lesson involves moving a computer's mouse from each fragment to the reason the word grouping is an incomplete thought.

Learn all about sentence fragments and how to avoid them.

A practice exercise with ten questions. Each question has three sentences and students are asked to choose the one that is a complete sentence. Answers can be checked when finished, and correct answers are provided for any questions missed.

Can you recognize a complete sentence from a fragment? Using the hint provided, take this quiz and see if you know the difference!
