WATCH OUT FOR "ING" WORDS. NO WORD ENDING IN "ING" CAN EVER BE THE COMPLETE VERB OF A SENTENCE.
The following examples are fragments:
- Sitting on the bench feeding the pigeons.
- Wondering about his future.
- The woman running down the street.
- Was calling his friends, rounding them up, and handing out tickets for the game.
None of the above is a complete sentence. However, each can be completed by adding a subject and/or verb. Don't be fooled by length. There is much action in the last example, but we don't know who is doing all of it.
