Sentence Fragments
A sentence fragment is part of a sentence set off by a capital letter and final punctuation.
It is not a complete idea, but is instead a part of an idea.
It cannot be left alone. Don't ever let length be your guide, for
a sentence can be two words (He jumps) and a fragment fifty.
