Identifying Complete Sentences

~8 min

A complete sentence must have a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or being). It also expresses a complete thought.

A complete sentence has two main parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject tells us who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells us what the subject is doing.

💡 Think of the subject as the star of the sentence!
