Label each group of words S for sentence or CF for clause fragment.

3. Because we discussed the topic of the test in great detail.

Clause fragment: This is a CF as it depends on a main clause to have meaning on its own. This is an adverbial clause of cause and effect.

4. Choosing fresh fruit as a snack is a good idea.

Sentence: This is a sentence since it as a subject “choosing fresh fruit as a snack” and a predicate “is a good idea”. This is a sentence as it has meaning on its own and does not depend on a clause to be complete.

5. That she was the only one who came made a huge difference in our plans.

Sentence: This is a sentence since it as a subject “That she was the only one who came” and a predicate “made a huge difference in our plans”. This is a sentence as it has meaning on its own and does not depend on a clause to be complete.

6. Until Miguel stops caring about the work he is doing.

Clause fragment: This is a CF as it depends on a main clause to have meaning on its own. This is an adverbial clause of time.

7. since the president had traveled to many South American countries

Clause fragment: This is a CF as it depends on a main clause to have meaning on its own. This is an adverbial clause of cause and effect.
