WRITING is a thing. It demands precision and attention to details for you to get it right. Many people hold back from writing because they feel that they always make mistakes in connection with sentence construction, which is what writing is largely about.
One sentence error I will explicate in this article is ‘sentence fragment’. As the expression implies, the sentence is fragmented. Thus, a sentence fragment is a group of words that should be part of a sentence but has been cut off and punctuated as though it were a complete sentence in itself. To be considered herein are phrases as fragments, clauses as fragments, and other kinds of fragments. Our focus this week will be limited to phrases as fragments. Other types will follow in weeks to come.
Some fragments have a descriptive purpose. That is, they tell you more about something or someone in the initial or later part of the sentence. Take as an example the first one. The fragment ‘parked close to the community school’ is a fragment that we call ‘participial phrase’ fragment – because it has a descriptive function . Because what the fragment describes or modifies is the ‘vehicle’, we ought to place the fragment just next to the word without separating it with a comma.
Example: The long, wide halls of the old secondary school building were quite shaky. On windy days in particular.
