Please help me correct it!
keeping in mind that everyone starts as a beginner at painting because you have never painted a house doesn't mean you should give it a try.
I'm writing an essay.....I have a problem with this sentence....I think it is a kind of fragment...but I don't know how to correct it....please help me out.....

In my opinion your sentence can be re-written as follow;
Keep in mind that everyone has ever a beginner in some regard such as paiting. If you have never painted a house, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't give it a try
I hope my sentence is better!

Hi Jimmy84,
When you said "I think it is a kind of fragment" that I believed you know how fragment is, so I just try to remind you. In English Technical writing, if you do not write complete sentence, it says fragment, and if you miss comma or period, it means "run on". On the basic, there are three kinds of sentences: simple sentence, complex sentences and compound sentences. When you write a complex or compound sentences, the comma should be used to seperate independent and phrase or dependent sentence. To get better writing skill, I wonder would look at your writing and tell me this is a compound or complex sentence and why you think this sentence was "fragment", but it's not "run on". If it's run on, where the comma should be?
God help those who help themselves. I beleved you can do it.
I expect to learn from you later,
Good Luck,
Nam Thao.
