Is this considered a sentence? Scribens and all other checkers didn't say anything was wrong with it. However, I am unsure myself.


"A story about the impact one can have by being selfless in helping others."

This would be more appropriate for the International Writing Forum.

The sentence given is a fragment.

Okay thanks. I’ll keep that in mind for future questions about grammar.

Your "sentence" was probably not considered a mistake by the various grammar checkers because sentence fragments are generally acceptable in writing today. They are more of a style than a grammar issue. But I wouldn't use them on OBC -- too conservative.
