Sentence fragments are very common and easy errors to make. Many of us write with our casual speaking voice in our head, and when we speak we often do not complete every thought to grammatical perfection. To put it simply, a sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that you have punctuated as if it is a complete sentence.
Sometimes, fragments are missing a verb. Sometimes, fragments are missing a subject. Sometimes, a fragment is simply a dependent clause punctuated like a complete sentence. Here are some examples:
Because the new policies involve a flexible, hybrid work week.
These sentence fragments might be understood perfectly well in a spoken conversation but, taken out of that context, these sentences are missing key parts.
You always have options about how you correct a sentence fragment, but here are some possible corrections for our two sample sentence fragments:
I am super excited about it because the new policies involve a flexible, hybrid work week.
