Is “After copying the information, before you begin following the steps. A incomplete sentence?

Incomplete.

Explanation:

As per the question, the given sentence would be characterized as an 'incomplete' sentence as it is syntactically and semantically fragmented. It comprises of two subordinate clauses which fail to convey a coherent thought. Grammatically, a subordinate clause is accompanied by an independent clause to accomplish its meaning but here the sentence involves two subordinate clauses back to back which leaves the meaning unaccomplished.

In order to rectify the error, the second subordinate conjunction(i.e. 'before') could be removed to make the latter clause of the sentence independent and add a comma(,) after the subordinate clause so that they together(subordinate clause followed by the principal clause) convey a coherent thought(syntactically and semantically appropriate). It read as:

'After copying the information, you begin the following steps.'

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
