Grammar Lottery Presentations Day 5: Fragments

Beau Lewis, Comm Lab
tutor, ponders whether
sentences with subjects
and verbs are always
complete.
We had a little delay in the posting of the latest Grammar Lottery presentations, but we are back today with Fragments.

Fragments, like run-on sentences, are forms of sentence boundary problems.

Tutor Beau Lewis explains fragments and gives a fun activity for identifying fragments.

Beau Lewis has been a tutor in the Communications Lab for over one year.

Considering himself to be the Comm Lab ladies' man, Beau is a creative individual who likes to do his own thing; this is exemplified in his photography.

Though Beau's approach to explaining fragments may seem a little brief at first, it was a strong contender for the Grammar Lottery prize due to its simplicity and ability to engage students in a creative manner.

Tomorrow, we will leave sentence boundaries in the Grammar Lottery and begin to present the Grammar Lotteries dealing with subject/verb relationships.
