sentence fragments

A form of sentence fragment — An incomplete sentence; a phrase or clause that is punctuated and capitalized as a sentence but does not constitute a complete grammatical sentence. (It is often the result of failing to include a subject and a verb, or beginning a sentence with a subordinator or relative pronoun. But not all one-word or two-word sentences are sentence fragments, though.)
