୨ 𝟎𝟕 ୧ :: sentence structure

So, so, so many stories I've seen on here do not have proper sentence structure; many of them are fragments.

A sentence needs at least a subject and a verb included to be a sentence. For example, "The girl jumped." is a complete sentence. It has a subject — the girl, and a verb (past tense) jumped.

But if you were to write, "The girl jumped a lot. Breathing heavily," it would be incorrect. "Breathing heavily." is not a complete sentence. There is a verb, but no subject.

These are easy fixes. You could change it to: "The girl jumped a lot, breathing heavily," or: "The girl jumped a lot. She began breathing heavily."

Make sure each sentence has a subject and a verb, unless it's dialogue, where you can make your character speak however you desire.
