A word group which pretends to be a sentence we call it a sentence fragment. A word group want to be a sentence, it must consist a full independent clause(include a subject and a verb,stands alone or could stand alone.)
How to test a word group is a fragment or a complete sentence.
If a word group doesn't have a verb, it is a fragment. If it has a verb, we should see this word group has a subject or not. If it has, it is a fragment. If it doesn't have, we can see it merely a subordinate clause or not. Yes is a fragment, No is a complete sentence.
