When did you go is a sentence fragment?

You are absolutely correct! "Did you go" is a sentence fragment.

Here's why:

* A complete sentence needs a subject and a verb. "Did you go" has a verb ("did go"), but it's missing the subject (who went?).

* A sentence fragment is a group of words that lacks a subject or verb (or both).

To make it a complete sentence, we need to add a subject. For example:

* Did you go to the store? (Subject = "you")

* Did the dog go outside? (Subject = "dog")
