A complete sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It has three essential components:
- Subject – who or what the sentence is about.
- Predicate – tells something about the subject, usually containing a verb.
- Complete thought – the sentence must make sense on its own.
Example:
- She (subject) runs (predicate).
This is a complete sentence because it has a subject, a verb, and expresses a full idea.
What makes a sentence incomplete?
- Missing a subject: Runs fast. (Who runs fast?)
- Missing a verb: The dog. (What about the dog?)
- Not expressing a full idea: Because he left. (What happened because he left?)
If you want, I can explain more about different types of sentences or give examples!
