Sentences and Sentence Fragments • Every sentence has two parts: a subject and a predicate. • The subject part of a sentence names whom or what the sentence is about.  • The predicate part of the sentence tells what the subject does or has. It can also describe what the subject is or is like.

  3. Sentences and Sentence Fragments (cont.) • A sentence must have both a subject and a predicate. It must also express a complete thought.  • A sentence fragment does not express a complete thought. It may be missing a subject, a predicate, or both.  • You often use sentence fragments when you speak.
