When I was studying for my CELPIP exam I got material from them. Unfortunately, I can not put the PDF to the public because it has a watermark with my personal email. But I can put you here what it says.
CELPIP's third error as they state:
Some word groups ending in periods aren’t really sentences; they’re sentence fragments, lacking what it takes to stand alone. A sentence (1) must have at least one independent clause with a subject and a finite verb (i.e., one that shows tense) and (2) must not start with a subordinating word that makes it a dependent clause. (See “Beware,” below.) A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence; it must be attached to an independent clause. Similarly, a phrase of any kind must be attached to an independent clause.
To fix a fragment, we often attach it to the sentence before or after it, perhaps with a comma. Sometimes we have to rewrite the fragment.
A subordinating conjunction placed at the start of an independent clause makes that clause dependent, unable to stand alone.
Subordinating conjunctions include because, since, (al)though, even though, if, unless, when(ever), while, until, where(ever), (every/any)where, whereas, and others. The relative pronouns which, that, who, and whom also subordinate a clause.

Good luck!
