I'm working on a English question and need guidance to help me understand better.
For Fragments Exercise 3, you can label 1-20 and write complete sentence or fragment next to each answer. For example, number 1 is a complete sentence, but 2 is a fragment, so you would write:
1. complete sentence.
2. fragment
You do not need to copy and paste. You do not need to retype the entire sentence. You do not need to correct the sentences.
