| Jun 26, 2020 at 14:23 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | @GaryBotnovcan No, it was meant for you (and for anybody reading the answer). You provided a clear example of using a sentence fragment in context, and I was adding commentary to it. You didn't mention that it was a sentence fragment. But sentence fragments can be stylistically acceptable in cases like this, despite them often being unacceptable when there isn't such context. | |
| Jun 26, 2020 at 14:18 | comment | added | Gary Botnovcan | Did you mean to leave that comment on the body of the OP, @Jason? My answer doesn't describe anything as a sentence. The label I applied is "coherent noun phrase". | |
| Jun 26, 2020 at 14:09 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | Technically, it's a sentence fragment. (Discounting the use of elision.) But that's fine in context—just not as a standalone sentence. | |

In "the thing to which each relates", the relative clause "to which each relates" is a modifier, and "the thing" is its modificand. In "a blue sky", "sky" is the modificand of "blue". | |
| Jun 26, 2020 at 6:57 | comment | added | Rasha | I LOVE the way you wrote this answer. All clear now. I never thought in these sentences in relation to (Where) they are written! I will search more about modificands for this is the first time I come by this term. Thank you so much. | |
