The document defines and provides examples of complete sentences, sentence fragments, and run-on sentences. Complete sentences have both a subject and predicate that express a complete thought, while fragments and run-ons are incomplete. Fragments lack a subject-verb relationship or are dependent clauses, and run-ons improperly connect two independent clauses without proper punctuation. The document uses examples to illustrate these sentence types and provides a interactive exercise for the reader to identify them.
