![]() It is usually missing either a subject or a verb. Now, what is a sentence fragment sentence? Fragment is not a complete sentence. And now let’s go back to our episode and let’s talk about three common sentence problems, and we will start with the sentence fragment.

But before we do that, let me remind you that there is a link you can find in the description that will take you to our website, English plus. Now we will move on to talk about sentence fragments. So here we say, the history of Korea comma, which is on the teacher’s desk. And because it is an adjective clause and it is extra information, we separated. ![]() The sentence can do without this extra information. The original sentence is the history of Korea is the book for the course, but here I use an adjective clause and that is, which is on the teacher’s desk. For example, the history of Korea, which is on the teacher’s desk. So there is another use of commerce and commerce can separate extra information that is provided in adjective clauses. But here I added this a positive because I want to explain about this word, which is fiber fiber comma, a substance that is important in limiting certain types of cancer. So here, the original sentence is fiber is found in popcorn. I will give you an example, fiber, a substance that is important in limiting certain types of cancer is found in popcorn. So you have seen it a lot, but you might not have known that this is called a positive. Well, and a positive is a group of words that renames or explains the noun before it. And you might be wondering what is in a positive. What else do we use commas for a comma separates and a positive from the rest of the sentence. ![]() So we say, because I speak three languages, comma, I can communicate with many people. Is a dependent clause and therefore we separated with a comma. So here, because I speak three languages. For example, when we say, because I speak three languages, I can communicate with many people. What else do we use commas for a comma separates, a dependent clause that comes at the beginning of the sentence. And when we use it in a sentence, we use a comma to separate this introductory word from the rest of the sentence. And of course there are a lot of introductory words and we will talk about them in other episodes because these introductory words are used for specific purposes, but this is a very famous introductory word first. For example, we say first you will need to get a pencil. A comma separates an introductory word or phrase from the rest of the sentence. So we say, I speak three languages, comma, but Adam speaks five. Like, and, or, but for example, we can say, I speak three languages, but Adams speaks five and here, because we have this combining word and we combine two separate sentences. And we can use a comma to separate two sentences when there is a combining word. We can say I speak English, comma, Spanish, and Japanese. Of course we can say more, but here because we have three things or more, we can separate them by commas. For example, if we say I speak English, Spanish and Japanese, he, we have three things. What do we use commerce for a commerce separates a list of three or more things. ![]() So without further ado, Let’s start with our very first point. And that is an essential skill, not only for writing, but also to write a perfect topic sentence. Sentence fragment run-on sentences and comma splice, because these things will help you write full and correct sentences. Last time we talked about the topic sentence, but today we will talk about essential things you need to know about the grammar of sentences. We are going to talk about some writing grammar. Today’s episode is about trialing, but today we’re not going to talk about writing paragraphs or essays. Welcome to a new episode from English plus podcast. ![]()
