Complete Sentences
Grade 1 · English Language Arts · Writing · British Columbia, Canada
Lesson Summary
Learn what makes a sentence complete.
Explanation
A complete sentence tells a whole thought. Every sentence needs two things: a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject does). For example, 'The cat sleeps' is a complete sentence because it tells you who (the cat) and what it does (sleeps). If a sentence is missing one of these parts, it is not complete and might confuse the reader.

Q3: Fix this to make a complete sentence: 'The big dog.'
