Is this a sentence fragment?
Without a complete thought, a phrase is considered a sentence fragment even if it contains both a subject and a verb. As an independent clause, a complete sentence must stand on its own. When the full thought is not expressed because either the subject or the verb is missing, you have a sentence fragment.
How do you know if a sentence is a fragment or run on?
Sentence fragments usually lack either main verb or subject (or both). If you’re not sure if a sentence is a fragment, check that it has at least one main verb and subject. Run-on sentences consist of at least two independent clauses that are connected in one sentence without proper punctuation.
How to handle a power boat in choppy water?
Handling power boats in chop requires careful use of the throttle—and a lot of common sense. There is no clear cut definition of when water turns from chop to just plain rough. In a choppy sea you may not encounter waves that come in regular intervals, just a mess of little waves that don’t seem to go anywhere.
When does the water turn from choppy to rough?
There is no clear cut definition of when water turns from chop to just plain rough. In a choppy sea you may not encounter waves that come in regular intervals, just a mess of little waves that don’t seem to go anywhere. In a chop you want to add speed; in a rough sea with large waves you want to go slow.
Why is the water choppy on the lake?
In the recent weeks, the lake that we go to has been choppy due to the winds. I’d say the chop is about 1-1.5′ and tosses us all around. We have been staying in the coves, but the coves close to the dock are crowded.
What happens when your boat meets a wave?
The more head-on you meet a wave, the faster the relative motion between boat and wave will be and, therefore, the more violent the boat’s reaction and motions. If your destination is exactly 000 degrees (due north) of your present position, a course of 000 will be the direct route.
