are these complete sentences, or is one of them a fragment?\ndrake finally agreed to show me where he hid the treasure. turning toward the wall, he pointed to a secret switch.\ncomplete sentences\tfragment
Answer
Brief Explanations:
A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought. The first sentence "Drake finally agreed to show me where he hid the treasure" has subject "Drake" and predicate "finally agreed to show me where he hid the treasure", expressing a complete thought. The second sentence "Turning toward the wall, he pointed to a secret switch" has subject "he" and predicate "pointed to a secret switch" (with the participial phrase "Turning toward the wall" as a modifier), also expressing a complete thought. So both are complete sentences.
