Can you tell me how this sentence is a fragment?

Question

I can't figure out why Word keeps highlighting this sentence as a fragment. If there are any grammar gurus out there, please help!

"When the demand of a nation’s goods and services increases, the demand for its currency increases accordingly."

I've tried replacing "for" with "of" and taking out commas and everything.

thanks

Answer 1

It looks perfect to me, and word doesn't highlight it on my computer when I type it. I think the other person who answered this is wrong. It is not two sentences so you do not use a semicolon.

Answer 2

The answer is that the Word grammar-check function is not perfect.  It often fails to recognize well-constructed sentences, particularly those with complex structure.  If you put the word "then" after the comma, it will check out OK.  But your sentence is also fine as is.

Answer 3

If you are using Microsoft Word's grammar checker, you are wasting your time.  Right click on it and choose ignore rule, that'll stop it from doing this.  Your sentence is coherent, has a subject and a predicate, therefore it is a complete sentence.
