How do you correct sentence fragments?

Answer

Sentence fragments lack a subject, verb, or complete thought. To correct them: (1) Add a subject ("Running fast" → "She was running fast"), (2) Add a verb ("The big dog" → "The big dog barks"), (3) Complete the thought ("Because it rained" → "Because it rained, we stayed inside"), or (4) Attach the fragment to a nearby sentence ("We went home. Because it was late" → "We went home because it was late").
