Test Description

A sentence that lacks either its subject or its main verb is called a fragment. Fragmented sentences can be caused by typos or by using subordinators, prepositions, and conjunctions incorrectly. To correct a fragment, find the missing subject or main verb and add it to the sentence. For example, "Since I finished the exam," becomes "Since I finished the exam, I put down my pen and paper." On the website TestAdvantage.com, you can find tips on how to find and fix fragmented sentences. Additionally, it provides thorough study guides and practise tests to help students get ready for the EST, SAT, and ACT.
