Question

Are these complete sentences, or is one of them a fragment? In the morning, Lucius Malfoy woke up early and went to a cafe. His friends, meanwhile, sleeping in very late. Complete Sentences Fragment

Answer 1

First is a complete sentence. Second is a fragment.

Why:
- "In the morning, Lucius Malfoy woke up early and went to a cafe." has a subject and a finite verb phrase (woke... and went...), so it's a full sentence.
- "His friends, meanwhile, sleeping in very late." lacks a finite verb. "Sleeping" is a participle and needs an auxiliary (or a different verb form).

Corrections:
- "His friends, meanwhile, were sleeping in very late."
- Or simply: "His friends slept in very late."
