Fragments

Fragments have been a very big problem for me in the past. They are still something I have trouble with and still need to work on though. A fragment sentence is one that lacks a subject or a verb, or both. An example of a fragmented sentence is, after the rain stops, because he went outside, if you want to go with me. We as a reader don't know what they did, where they went etc. By eleminating the subordinates (after, because, if, when, since, etc.) you can have a complete sentence. It seems easy enough to not use those words, sometimes you can't handle it. I know I'm not suppose to start a sentence with but or because, however its those other words that get me. If you go to this website you will be able to learn more about fragmented sentences and what they entitle.
