Week #9: SENTENCE OR FRAGMENT

This week we're looking at sentences verses fragments. A sentence has both a subject and a predicate (verb). A fragment may have either a subject or a predicate or neither, but it doesn't have both. Read the following sentences and decide which ones are sentences and which ones are fragments. Each is worth .25 X 14 = 3.5.
1. Janelle, the girl with the red hair.

2. Is a great talent

3. Adelle took a peek at the bird's nest.

4. A quadrilateral is a four-sided shape.

5. Pamela likes to draw.

6. A dollar or more.

7. Goodness, that room is messy.

8. Have a pet frog.

9. You can order a book.

10. Larry handed in his assignment.

11. Sam walks.

12. Please fix the faucet.

13. The tiny little bird with the broken wing.

14. Fell asleep on the couch.
