Indicate whether the following is a sentence or a fragment. She walked along the seashore.

Sentence
Fragment

Sentence.

Explanation:

This is a complete sentence. Examples of fragments might be “the seashore” or “walked along.”

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
