What is the last step in correcting sentence fragments?

The last step in correcting sentence fragments is checking for clarity and flow.

While you've fixed the grammatical error, you need to ensure that the sentence is:

* Clear: The meaning is easy to understand.

* Concise: It's not unnecessarily wordy.

* Flowing: It fits smoothly with the surrounding sentences.

Here's a quick breakdown:

1. Identify the fragment: Is there a subject and a verb, or is something missing?

2. Connect the fragment: Attach it to the previous or following sentence, or create a complete sentence from it.

3. Revise for clarity: Make sure the meaning is clear and the sentence is well-written.

4. Check for flow: Does it fit smoothly with the surrounding text?

Example:

Fragment: "Running through the park."

Corrected sentence: "After a long day, I felt refreshed running through the park."

By following these steps, you can be confident that you've effectively corrected sentence fragments and improved the overall quality of your writing.
