SENTENCES AND SENTENCE FRAGMENTS

A sentence expresses a complete thought or idea and contains a subject and a predicate 
(a verb). When a sentence is unfinished, either because it is missing a subject or verb, or
because it lacks the information needed to express the thought, it is a sentence fragment.
For each of the following, write S on the line if it is a complete sentence. Write F if it
is a sentence fragment.

1. ___ Long, long ago, in a faraway land.
2. ___ There lived a princess named Gretchen.
3. ___ The most beautiful girl in the land.
