Example 1:
Samantha ate the mysterious object, it was a noodle.
The two independent clauses in this run-on sentence could be broken into two
sentences:
- Samantha ate the mysterious object.
- It was a noodle.
They could also be combined into one sentence using a semicolon: Samantha
ate the mysterious object; it was a noodle.
Sentence fragments are parts of sentences, usually verb-less, that are made
up to look like real sentences. They are usually placed next to real sentences into
which they should be incorporated.
Example 2:
All the kids had rashes on their bodies. Especially those with uranium lunch
boxes.
