    The handbook discusses elements of sentences such as subjects and predicates. It defines sentence fragments as groups of words that are punctuated like sentences but lack essential elements. The handbook also defines comma splices as two independent clauses joined only by a comma and fused sentences as two independent clauses without punctuation between them. It provides ways to correct fragments, splices, and fused sentences such as adding missing elements, separating into two sentences, or using conjunctions and semicolons.
