Grammar nazis, need your help.

And the words are:

Technology shrinks.




Is that a fragment?

 

[Mrvile]

First of all, you spelled sentence wrong.


Anywho:

Subject, verb.

There's doesn't have to be an object in the sentence does there?

 

[Zanix]

Like the technology shrinking something?

 

[her209]

She runs. (Is that a sentence?).

 

[imported_Hi]

Not unless the verb can only be transitive and not intransitive. (Are there any instances of that?)

I know "she runs" is a sentence. And I guess "technology shrinks" is a sentence because it's on the same boat. Ok.

That's what I thought. I got marked down for it though because it's supposedly a fragment.

first of all, you wrote "there's" when you should have written "There"

It may technically be a sentence, but as a thought or idea, it certainly IS a fragment. "Technology" does not have an attribute that compares to size that shrinks or enlarges. So unless you backed up your statement effectively...
