sentence or a fragment?

Do you know how to tell if a group of words makes a full sentence or if it’s just a fragment? This playsheet helps you practice spotting the difference so your writing is always clear and complete. By learning this skill, you’ll make sure your sentences stand strong on their own.

As you move through the activities, you’ll see that a full sentence has both a subject and a predicate—it tells who or what and what happens. A fragment is missing one of these parts. For example, “Because she was late” is a fragment, while “She ran quickly because she was late” is a complete sentence.

Each exercise strengthens your grammar and reading skills. You’ll practice sorting examples, correcting fragments, and turning them into full sentences. These activities give you the tools to make your writing smooth and professional.
