Fragments, Run-ons, and Sentences

A sentence must have a subject and predicate, and it must express a complete thought.

Fragments are incomplete sentences. They are usually missing a subject, predicate, object, or independent clause. They do not complete a thought.
Run-ons are made of two or more independent clauses joined without using the correct connecting words and/or punctuation.
