Explanation:

A sentence fragment is a group of words that resembles a sentence but isn't actually a complete sentence.

A complete sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Sentence fragments do not fulfill all of these criteria. They can be corrected by adding a subject or predicate.

The subject is what the sentence is about. It tells us who/what is being described or is performing an action. For example, My brother ignored his friends' pleas not to drive drunk.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes it. - The destructive puppy, aptly christened Mischief, destroyed the couch.
