Sentence Or Fragment? Grammar Quiz - Quiz

2.

Went to bed.
- Sentence
- Fragment
Correct Answer

A. Fragment

Explanation

The given phrase "Went to bed" does not form a complete sentence as it lacks a subject. It is a fragment because it is missing the necessary components to express a complete thought. A complete sentence requires a subject (who or what is performing the action) and a verb (the action itself). In this case, there is no subject mentioned, making it a sentence fragment.

A. Fragment

Explanation

The given sentence "Had fun on the playground at recess." is a fragment because it lacks a subject. It begins with a verb phrase "Had fun" but does not have a subject to complete the sentence. A complete sentence requires both a subject and a predicate, which is missing in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is "Fragment."

We watched the clouds go by in the sky.
- Sentence

Correct Answer

A. Sentence

Explanation

The given statement "We watched the clouds go by in the sky" is a complete thought that expresses a subject (we) and a verb (watched).

Looks like a pumpkin!
- Sentence

Correct Answer

A. Fragment

Explanation

The given statement "Looks like a pumpkin!" is a sentence fragment because it does not have a complete subject and verb. It lacks a subject that performs the action and a verb that shows the action being performed. It is an incomplete thought and does not express a complete idea on its own. Hence, it is classified as a fragment.

The given statement "Grandma thinks I am smart" is a complete thought that expresses a subject (Grandma) and a predicate (thinks I am smart). It contains a subject and a verb, making it a complete sentence rather than a sentence fragment.

- Sentence
- Fragment
Correct Answer

A. Fragment

Explanation

The given sentence "Miss him when he leaves" is a fragment because it lacks a subject. It is missing a subject that would complete the sentence and make it a complete thought or statement.
