Take a complete sentence like “Mice scurry,” put “because” on the front, and you now have a fragment: “Because mice scurry.” That’s why they’re called subordinating conjunctions.

The fragments can convey a mood, a feeling, a time. I tried to find sentence fragments in the books on my bookshelves at home, but I had no luck. So I had to look on the internet.
