    What is both a sentence fragment and a phrase phrase?

    Noun: Gramatically a phrase is a unit of words that functions as a unit in the syntax of a sentence. In the sentence “A vanilla ice cream with sprinkles looks tasty,” “with sprinkles” is a prepositional phrase, “A vanilla ice cream ice cream” is a noun phrase, and “A vanilla ice cream without sprinkles” is a larger noun phrase. I can use any of these phrasal units to describe parts of the sentence. What do verb phrases mean? Why is “looks yummy” a verb phrase formed from the main verb and its complement?

    When a sentence fragment is a part of the sentence, the whole sentence can be part of the sentence. The fragment is the sequence of words in the sentence. Maybe it’s missing a syntactic element like a classmate or a verb; maybe it doesn’t express a complete thought. In the example above, all of those phrases could be considered incomplete sentences if they appeared alone, but I could also form sentence fragments that are not phrases, like “looks” or “tasty” If you label something as a sentence fragment by some character or concept, you will be trying to evade the labels since your whole sentence will seem to be missing, and then what makes it a sentence fragment.

  • No current word is as precise about killing half a population as decimation or tithing are about killing a tenth of a population.

    Which way does halve work? Oxford Dictionaries :

    Reduce or be reduced by half.

    Why doesn’t Thanos care about the humans who inhabit our galaxy—especially if its population is already at

    equilibrium? His stated goal is “to wipe out half the universe”, not “set the universe to half of the universe’s population as of time X”. He doesn’t have a cause to care about the population.

    Is there any sense that Thanos would halve gravity in the

    universe and make it larger if he told the universe that the solar system could absorb a billion people to stop the expanding of the universe by introducing new solar systems?
