types of fragments Dependent-word fragment You know in English we have two type of clauses, and the dependent clues, in the case of fragments, is known as dependent-word fragment because of the word that introduces to this sentence. The followings are examples of dependent words: after, as, because, how, if, even if, since, that, so that, until, wh- words, etc. If we eliminate discriminatory laws, policies and practices. We can ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of income. The dependent statement starting with a dependent word like if that cannot stand alone. To correct that mistake we have two possible options: - We can ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of income if we eliminate discriminatory laws, policies, and practices. - If we eliminate discriminatory laws, policies, and practices. We can ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of income. -ing and to fragments Most of the time, people write or put the -ing and to fragments as one sentence because they think that they subject of one sentence will work for the next one. But base on the structure of a simple sentence, the subject must be in the same sentence. Countries can accelerate the transition. To an affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system. By investing in renewable energy resources, prioritizing energy efficient practices, and adopting clean energy technologies and infrastructure. Doing the analysis to the sentence you can see that the statement "to an affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system" has been separated from the whole sentence, and the correct writing is: - Countries can accelerate the transition to an affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system by investing in renewable energy resources, prioritizing energy efficient practices, and adopting clean energy technologies and infrastructure.
Added-detail fragments People write these types of fragments for much the same reason they write -ing and to fragments. Commonly, the added-detail fragments are introduced by the words: also, especially, except, for example, like, including, such as. Poor harvesting practices. As well as food wastage. Have contributed to food scarcity. The additional detail "As well as food wastage" has been written as one sentence and it cannot stand alone. The correct writing will be: - Poor harvesting practices, as well as food wastage have contributed to food scarcity. Missing-subject fragments As in the two types mentioned above, people write this type of fragments because they think the subject in one sentence works for the next one. Society benefits when more people are being productive. And contributing to their country’s growth. The second statement lacks subject. The correct writing is: - Society benefits when more people are being productive and contributing to their country’s growth. Missing auxiliary verb fragments This type of fragment happens accidently because people do not take care of their writing. Climate change caused by human activities and is threatening the way we live and the future of our planet. In this sentence, you can see that the auxiliary verb does not appear. Then, the correct writing is: - Climate change is caused by human activities and is threatening the way we live and the future of our planet.
