Complete Sentences Study Guide

A complete sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It contains a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is or does).

Here are the key elements of a complete sentence:

• Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about.
• Predicate: The action or state of being of the subject.
• Capital letter at the beginning: Every sentence should begin with a capital letter.
• Ending punctuation: Every sentence should end with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.

Examples of complete sentences:

• The cat sat on the mat.
• She is reading a book.
• Do you like ice cream?
